Description

Explore a significant chapter of American political history with Nativism and Slavery: The Northern Know Nothings and the Politics of the 1850's. This work from Oxford University Press examines how politicians used immigrants as scapegoats for national issues, focusing on the rise of the Know Nothing Party. Learn about the rapid growth of this organization, which emerged in 1854 and quickly elected eight governors and over one hundred members of Congress. The book details the party's intense focus on Catholic immigrants and its evolution into the American Party. This text provides a deep look at how prominent politicians from various backgrounds joined the movement, leading many observers to believe the party would eventually secure the Presidency. It is an essential read for students and historians interested in the complex political landscape of the 1850s and the roots of nativist movements in the United States.
