Why were groups like the Know Nothings and the Order of the Star Spangled Banner less radical in the South?

The Order of the Star Spangled Banner was initially known as the "Know Nothings" and actually gave rise to the American Party - thus they are the same group, the Order of the Star Spangled Banner occurring first but both known as Know Nothings.Although I am not a scholar in this era of American history, my presumption is that the Irish, Catholic, and German immigration (as listed in Wikipedia, although Catholic includes the Irish and the Germans) was far greater in the North where there were many jobs especially opened to unskilled Immigrants; whereas in the South, most of the unskilled labor had been supplied by slaves and was farm or plantation work. Factory, railroads, and big city jobs (such as house servants) were far more common and available in the North so that is where the vast bulk of the immigration occurred.


Who was the composer to the star spangle banner?

Back in the 1700-1800s there were few copyright laws. The music to the Star Spangled Banner was taken from the mid 1770s and it had been composed for a group of London gentlemen who had formed a social club. During that time, it was common for lyrics to be put to the tunes of other songs. John Stafford Smith wrote the music to the song even though he was not a member of the club. He was an organist and composer and a music critic in London. One of the founders of the social club, Ralph Tomlinson, wrote the words to the social club's song in 1776 and he may have commissioned Smith to write the music.

What was the Order of the Star Spangled Banner?

The Supreme Order of the Star-Spangled Banner was an organization formed by many nativist groups in the spring of 1850. This Order endorsed a list of demands including banning of Catholics or the foreign-born from holding public office, more restrictive naturalization laws, and literacy tests for voting. At that time, more than half of the populations of New York and Chicago were immigrants. Many believed that the many Irish Catholic immigrants were being controlled by the Pope in Rome. The Order adopted a strict code of secrecy, which included a secret password, that was used in lodges across the country, "I know nothing." Ultimately members of the movement became known as the "Know-Nothings." Gradually, the Know-Nothings turned their attention to party politics, and after the election of 1852, they created a new political organization that they called the American Party.
