'''''The Nation''''' is a weekly [[magazine]] of opinion and reviews, first published in 1865. It was founded by [[E. L. Godkin]], the editor from 1865 to 1899. It has gone through several distinct changes. It was founded by abolitionists and in the 1865-1875 period supported Republican programs of [[Reconstruction]] in the South. In the Godkin years it was [[Libertarian]], and supported conservative [[Bourbon Democrats]] such as [[Grover Cleveland]]. At that time ''The Nation'' was the most sophisticated intellectual magazine in the U.S., and published many serious articles in politics.

Since 1920 it has represented the left in American politics, and is much less important than before.
It faded in importance after 1900 but was strongly revived under Oswald Garrison Villard, who assumed the editorship in 1918.
Since then it has represented the left in American politics.
