'''Herbert David Croly''', (January 23, 1869 - May 17, 1930) a leader of the [[Progressive Movement]]<ref name=apostle>{{cite web |last1=Pearson |first1=Sidney |url=http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/03/herbert-croly-progressive-apostle |title=Herbert D. Croly: Apostle of Progressivism |work=[[Heritage Foundation]] |date=March 14, 2013 }}</ref> as an editor, and political philosopher and a co-founder of the magazine [[The New Republic]]. His book, ''[[The Promise of American Life]]'' (1909) looked to the conservative spirit of effective government as espoused by [[Alexander Hamilton]], combined with the democracy of [[Thomas Jefferson]]. The book was one of the most influential books in American political history, shaping the ideas of many Progressives such as [[Theodore Roosevelt]]. It also influenced the later [[New Deal]]. Calling themselves "the new nationalists" Croly and Walter Weyl sought to remedy the relatively weak national institutions with a strong federal government. He actively promoted a strong army and navy and attacked pacifists who thought democracy at home and peace abroad was best served by keeping America weak.
