The American Party (Know-Nothing Party) (25 Jul 1844 Jahr – 17 Jul 1860 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Founded in 1844, the American Party (originally called the Native American Party) was started as an anti-immigration anti-Catholic Party. They grew in response to the political vacuum left by the Whigs' dissolution. Being anti-Catholic--they believed that the clergy would use their influence for political reasons--they promoted the tribalism that sectionalism brought.
