Christian Party (United States, 1930s)
The Christian Party was an American fascist political party founded by William Dudley Pelley in 1935. The party can be considered the political wing of Pelley's paramilitary organization, the Silver Legion of America. It ran with Pelley as its candidate for the 1936 presidential campaign. Pelley gained just 1,600 votes in the election. The party was quickly dissolved after the United States entered World War II. Pelley's party is unrelated to the modern day Christian Party that was founded in 2009 by a group of self-described "Christian Constitutionalist patriots" in Mobile, Alabama.
