The Sentinels of the Republic was a national organization in the United States that opposed what it saw as federal encroachment on the rights of the States and of the individual.[1] Politically right-wing, the group was highly active in the 1920s and 1930s, during which it worked against child labor legislation and the New Deal.[2][3] Accusations of antisemitism and a decreasing relevance of its political agenda both served to weaken the organization, which ultimately disbanded in 1944.
