The Old Right is an informal designation used for a branch of American conservatism that was most prominent from c. 1910 to the mid-1950s, but never became an organized movement. Most members were Republicans, although there was a conservative Democratic element based largely in the Southern United States. They are termed the "Old Right" to distinguish them from their New Right successors who came to prominence in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The Old Right per se has faded as an organized movement, but many similar ideas are found among paleoconservatives and paleolibertarians.
