Longism wants to heavily regulate the markets with his "Share Our Wealth" plan, which involved taxing the rich to fund social programs for free education, old-age pensions, public works, and large subsidies for families

== History ==
Huey Long/Huey Pierce Long Jr. was born in August 30th 1893, near the small town of Winnfield, Louisiana, America at the seat of Winn Parish in a log cabin to an impoverished family who lived in a comfortable farmhouse and were well-off compared to others. Winn Parish was impoverished location while it's residents who are mostly Christian Baptists were often outsiders in Louisiana's political system and Winn Parish was a Unionist stronghold in the American Confederacy but wanted to keep the blacks for the wealthy slave planters while in the 1890s, it was a bastion of the Populist Party and in the 1912 election, 35% of Louisianans voted for a Socialist presidential candidate named Eugene V. Debs that lead Huey Long to embrace populist sentiments.▼
=== Early Life and Education ===
Huey Long has eight siblings while also he is home schooled until 1904, he was sent to [[File:PublicSchool.png]] public school that earned him a reputation as an excellent student with a remarkable memory and convinced his teachers to let him skip seventh grade. Years later he was at Winnfield High School while himself along with his best friends formed a secret society that planned to laying down certain rules the students would have to follow and run things in school along with wearing a red ribbon for it's members. Huey Long becomes a rebel by writing and distributing flyers that criticized his teachers along with a recently state-mandated fourth year secondary education that lead himself to be expelled from school in 1910, but at least he successfully petitioned to fire the principal. ▼
==== Birth and Family Background ====
▲
==== Education and Early Ambitions ====
▲Huey Long
Due to the influence of his Christian parents, Long became a student of the Bible, familiarizing himself with its contents to a degree comparable to ordained ministers. His speeches often included quotes from the Holy Scripture.
Huey Long have met Rose McConnell at the baking contest in which he sells Cottolene shortening to be promoted but then Huey Long & Rose McConnelll are in two-and-a-half-year courtship and they married each other in April 1913 at the Gayoso Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee but on their wedding day, Huey Long borrowed 10 dollars from his new fiancée to pay the officiant. Shortly after their marriage Huey Long started his plans to run for a statewide office, the governorship, the senate and ultimately the presidency. Huey Long along with his wife got three children for example a daughter named Rose Long 1917–2006, a son named Russell B. Long 1918–2003, who is a U.S. senator and a another son named Palmer R. Long 1921–2010, who is an oilman in Shreveport, Louisiana. ▼
=== Early Career ===
Huey Long enrolled at Tulane University Law School located at New Orleans in the fall of 1914 and after a year of study that concentrated on the courses necessary for the bar exam, Huey Long successfully petitioned the Louisiana Supreme Court for permission to take the test before its scheduled at June 1915 so he was examined in May and passed while he received his license to practice.▼
==== Scholarship and Early Employment ====
Huey Long has established a private practice in Winnfield while he represented poor plaintiffs usually in workers compensation cases and avoided fighting in The Great War 1914-1918 by obtaining a draft deferment on the grounds that he was married while having dependent children even he successfully defended himself from prosecution under the Espionage Act of 1917, with help from a state senator who had loaned him money. In 1918, Huey Long invested $1,050 in an oil well but the Standard Oil Company refused to accept any of the oil in its pipelines and it cost Huey Long his investment that led him to hate Standard Oil.▼
A capable debater, Huey Long won a full-tuition scholarship to Louisiana State University at a state debate competition in Baton Rouge. However, the scholarship did not cover textbooks or living expenses, and his family could not afford to support him. Additionally, Long did not graduate from high school, which prevented him from attending. Instead, he entered the workforce as a traveling salesman in the rural South.
In September 1911, Long attended seminary classes at Oklahoma Baptist University at his mother's urging, living with his brother George. However, he attended for only one semester, rarely appearing at lectures. After deciding against preaching, Long focused on law. He borrowed $100 from his brother, lost it playing roulette in Oklahoma City, and then attended the University of Oklahoma College of Law for a semester in 1912 while continuing to work as a salesman. He took four classes, receiving one incomplete and three C's, later admitting that he learned little due to his gambling and social activities.
Huey Long has entered the race to serve on the three-seat Louisiana Railroad Commission and in the Democratic primary he was polled second behind incumbent Burk Bridges but then a run-off election was held since no candidate garnered a majority of the votes. Huey Long campaigned tirelessly across northern Louisiana but then he defeated Burk Bridges with 636 votes even with wide support in rural areas while low support in urban areas and Huey Long forced utilities to lower rates, ordered railroads to extend service to small towns and demanded that Standard Oil cease the importation of Mexican crude oil to use more oil from Louisiana wells. ▼
==== Marriage and Family ====
In the gubernatorial election of 1920, Huey Long campaigned heavily for John M. Parker even he is credited with helping him to win northern parishes and after Parker was elected, the two became bitter rivals. John M. Parker was now governor of Louisiana from May 11th 1920 until May 13th 1924.▼
▲Huey Long
==== Legal Education and Early Law Career ====
Huey Long was elected Governor of Louisiana in 1928 by the largest margin in the state’s history. In the face of entrenched opposition from the Old Guard, he launched an unprecedented program to modernize the state’s infrastructure and provide universal educational and economic opportunity to the masses. After a failed attempt by his opponents to oust him from office, Huey ruthlessly consolidated his power in the state and became known as the “Kingfish.”▼
▲In the fall of 1914, Huey Long enrolled at Tulane University Law School
▲
Huey immediately pushed a number of bills through the legislature to fulfill his campaign promises, including a free textbook program for schoolchildren, night courses for adult literacy, and piping natural gas to New Orleans. He also launched a massive construction program of roads, bridges, hospitals, and educational institutions. The public soon began to see the tangible results of his massive building program to modernize Louisiana. As the nation plunged into the Great Depression after the stock market crash of 1929, thousands of Louisianians were at work building the state’s new infrastructure. Louisiana employed 22,000 men just to build the roads — ten percent of the nation's highway workers. With greater access to transportation, education and healthcare, the quality of life in Louisiana was on the notable upswing while the rest of the nation declined▼
Irritated by immoral gambling dens and brothels in New Orleans, Long, a cultural conservative and committed Christian, deployed the National Guard to raid these establishments with orders to "shoot without hesitation". Gambling equipment was burned, prostitutes were arrested, and over $25,000 (equivalent to $376,793 in 2020) was confiscated for government funds. Local newspapers ran photos of National Guardsmen forcibly searching nude women. City authorities had not requested military force, and martial law had not been declared. The Louisiana attorney general denounced Long's actions as illegal but Long casually rebuked him saying: "Nobody asked him for his opinion.". ▼
==== Early Political Involvement ====
The stuffed shirts and the ministerial association who popularized themselves with their hypocritical congregations by cursing Huey Long, joined the opposition in condemning him for bringing the troops in to enforce his determination to clean out the red light district. In a broadcast he shocked the city and the state by suggesting over the air that he was fighting a strange combination of opposition in which the brothel keepers and the ministerial association were on the same side. Long's harsh crackdowns on social vices proved widely popular among the common worker in Louisiana and only strengthened his support.▼
In 1918, Long invested $1,050 in an oil well, but the Standard Oil Company refused to accept any of the oil in its pipelines, costing him his investment and leading to his animosity towards Standard Oil.

==== Legacy and Establishment of Longism ====
Longism, the political movement established by Huey P. Long, significantly transformed Louisiana from his election as governor in 1928 until about 1960. Long's administration undertook extensive infrastructure projects, including the construction of thousands of miles of roads, numerous bridges, and public buildings such as schools and hospitals. These efforts not only improved transportation and public health but also provided much-needed employment during the Great Depression. His emphasis on education through free textbook programs and adult literacy courses elevated the state's educational standards, fostering a more informed and capable workforce.
Long's tenure was also marked by ambitious social reforms aimed at reducing economic inequality and improving public welfare. His "Share Our Wealth" program, although never fully realized, proposed capping personal fortunes and ensuring a guaranteed income for every American family. Long's focus on healthcare led to the construction of hospitals and improved medical facilities, addressing disparities and enhancing access to medical care, particularly in rural areas. These initiatives significantly uplifted many impoverished families and contributed to an overall improvement in the quality of life in Louisiana.
Despite his achievements, Long's methods of consolidating power were highly controversial, often bypassing traditional democratic processes and leading to accusations of authoritarianism. His unilateral actions, such as deploying the National Guard to raid gambling dens and brothels, exemplified his willingness to exercise power decisively. Nonetheless, Long's popularity among the common people remained strong, driven by his ability to connect with ordinary citizens and address their needs. His legacy continued to shape Louisiana politics for decades, influencing subsequent leaders and inspiring movements focused on reducing economic disparity and promoting social justice.
