Preface
James Cannon, Jr. (18641944) was probably the most influential southern churchman between the Civil War and World War II. He was certainly the most controversial. In the late 1920s and early 1930s "Bishop Cannon" became a household word in much of America. Cannon was a paradoxical figure: a Methodist clergyman, a businessman, and a politician. At home in the secular world of banking, investment, and business enterprise, he was condemned by critics as an exemplar of the materialistic values of the 1920s. Plunging into politics in Virginia and the nation to secure and protect prohibition, he dramatically broke the southern taboo against preachers in politics. Often he bested the professional politicians at their own game. Cannon represented the older America of rural and small-town life, Victorian morality, and Protestant hegemony. Best known for leading the South in revolt against Al Smith in the presidential election of 1928, he symbolized the struggle against an increasingly urban, pluralistic society.
