Editing Alfred P. Sloan (section)

===Political causes===
According to [[Edwin Black]], Sloan was one of the central, behind-the-scenes 1934 founders of the [[American Liberty League]], a political organization whose stated goal was to defend the Constitution, and which opposed [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]]. In turn, the league financed other groups with openly more extreme agendas. One such group was the [[Sentinels of the Republic]], to which Sloan himself donated $1,000. After a Congressional investigation into this group went public in 1936, Sloan issued a statement pledging not to further support the Sentinels.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

Also according to Black, Sloan continued to personally fund and organize fund-raising for the [[National Association of Manufacturers]], which was critical of the New Deal.<ref>{{cite book |last=Black |first=Edwin |title=Nazi Nexus, America's Corporate Connections to Hitler's Holocaust |publisher=Dialog Press |year=2009 |isbn=978-0914153092}}</ref>
