The Know Nothing Party, active in the 1850s in the United States, primarily appealed to nativist sentiments by promoting anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic rhetoric. They capitalized on fears that immigrants, particularly Irish Catholics, were undermining American values and taking jobs from native-born citizens. Their platform emphasized the protection of American interests and the preservation of Protestant dominance, attracting those concerned about rapid demographic changes due to Immigration. This appeal resonated in a context of economic instability and social change, leading to significant, albeit temporary, political influence.
