Along with theologian [[Reinhold Niebuhr]] and economist [[John Kenneth Galbraith]], and politicians [[Hubert Humphrey]] and [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], he founded [[Americans for Democratic Action]] as an anti-Communist bastion of liberalism.
As a [[Realist]] in foreign policy he argued that the origins of the Cold War resulted from the justifiable and wholly reasonable American response to Soviet aggression in Eastern Europe and Asia.

Schlesinger did not believe that the [[Civil Rights Movement]] was the high point of American liberalism, but he did not attack it either. Instead he attacked [[multiculturalism]] and "[[bilingual education]]". In ''The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society'' (1992) Schlesinger endorses the melting pot theory of American history against what he calls the "cult of ethnicity."
