 abstract = {‘The United States, though a young nation, shows all the signs of decadence,’ wrote the secretary-general of the Ligue d’action française, Anatole Vanier, in 1922. An influential nationalist who practised law in Montreal, Vanier believed that ‘irreligion, moral corruption, the destruction of the family through divorce, lynching, the internal divisions between whites and blacks and between capitalists and workers, the absolutism of the plutocracy, the awakening of the non-Anglo-Saxon races [and] the too great expanse of territory,’ would ultimately destroy the American republic.¹ America’s degeneracy and eventual collapse was not an uncommon theme in conservative commentary. At heart, like all},
