What did the Know-Nothings gain power in the 1840s?
The Know-Nothings, formally known as the American Party, gained power in the 1840s by tapping into widespread nativist sentiments and fears surrounding immigration, particularly against Irish and German Catholics. Their platform emphasized anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic rhetoric, resonating with many American voters who felt threatened by the rapid influx of immigrants. The party capitalized on political discontent and successfully won seats in various state legislatures and even the U.S. Congress during this period. However, their influence waned in the 1850s as sectional tensions over slavery took precedence.
