The Know Nothing Party, officially known as the American Party, was established in the 1850s primarily to limit the rights of immigrants, particularlyCatholics and Irish immigrants. The party emerged in response to the growing immigrant population and aimed to promote nativism, advocating for policies that restricted Immigration and naturalization. Its members often responded to inquiries about their activities with "I know nothing," which led to the party's nickname.
The know nothings were created out of opposition to immigrants to prevent flooding the country. They felt it would take away from jobs and weaken the country as a whole.
Northern immigrants typically voted for the Republican Party, while Southern farmers generally supported the Democratic Party. This political alignment was influenced by historical factors such as the Civil War, Reconstruction, and evolving party platforms on issues such as economic policy and civil rights.

To silence their critics
In the 1840s, the American Party, also known as the Know-Nothing Party, emerged in response to a significant influx of immigrants, particularly Irish Catholics. They advocated for immigration reform due to fears that immigrants would undermine American cultural values and take jobs from native-born citizens. The party's anti-immigrant sentiment was fueled by economic competition and a desire to preserve a Protestant, Anglo-Saxon identity in the U.S. Additionally, they sought to limit the political power of immigrants, advocating for restrictions on naturalization and increased scrutiny of foreign influences.
The party offered them social service and jobs.
Animal Rights Party was created in 2007.
