13 März 1887 Jahr - American Protective Association is Founded

Beschreibung:

A group of skilled workers and small business founded this organization, which claimed half a million members a year later. The APA sought to limit Catholic civil rights in the US to protect the jobs of Protestant workingmen. Labor competition contributed to the rise of new anti-immigrant organizations. (Continuity: tensions between Protestants and Catholics resulting in nativist sentiment)
