Nativism is a political and social ideology that favors the interests of native inhabitants over those of immigrants. In the United States, nativist movements emerged prominently in the 19th and early 20th centuries, often characterized by opposition to Immigration and a belief in the superiority of the native-born population. Key figures associated with nativist sentiments include the Know-Nothing Party of the 1850s and later groups like the Immigration Restriction League in the early 1900s. Nativism often reflects fears about cultural dilution and economic competition posed by newcomers.
