I saw one American political scientist mention a prominent figure during the "New Deal" in the 1930s as "the American nation." It turned out to be Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes.
His activity in the 1930s is briefly described as follows:
"Public works initiated by President Roosevelt became a salvation for vast numbers of unemployed and landless Americans. The work, which was carried out under the auspices of the Public Works Administration and the Civil Works Administration, included the construction of canals, roads or bridges in remote, wild and dangerous areas. Up to 3.3 million people simultaneously participated in the works, not 5 million of these American prisoners at the same time, and not counting the works, 5 million of these prisoners. Passed these works.
In these jobs, the average person earned $30 and paid a $25 deductible on that money (for food, shelter, and work clothes). Thus, a person had only 5 dollars to spare for a month of hard labor in the malarial swamps, in conditions similar to Stalin's Gulag. The Public Works Administration (PWA) had striking similarities to the Gulag. The APR was headed by the "American Bria", Minister of the Interior Harold Ickes, who also sent about two million unemployed young people to the camps. X later imprisoned ethnic Japanese in US concentration camps in just 72 hours (1941–1942).
Harold X is also known for his plan to resettle European Jews who fled Hitler in Alaska. But the plan fell through."
I looked at what was the plan of "American Bria" to resettle Jews in Alaska:
In November 1938, two weeks after Kristallnacht, X proposed using Alaska as a "refuge for Jewish refugees from Germany and other areas of Europe where oppressive restrictions were placed on the Jews. " Resettlement in Alaska would allow refugees to bypass normal immigration quotas, as Alaska was then a territory and not a state.
