It was a nativist American political party opposed to Immigration, especially Irish immigrants, as they were Catholic and would be ruled by the Pope, and against anything they felt was un-American. They were a semi secret party, hence the name. When anyone asked them about their beliefs, they would repy, "I know nothing." See this article for complete information about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know-Nothing_movement
