13 lugl 1887 anni - American Protective Association Founded

Descrizione:

The American Protective Association (APA) was founded in 1887 in Iowa as a secret society that promoted anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant sentiments among its predominantly Protestant, native-born American membership. The organization grew rapidly in the late 19th century, advocating for restrictive immigration laws and playing a significant role in stoking nativist and xenophobic sentiments during a period of substantial European immigration.
