The American Party, also known as the Know-Nothing Party, expressed strong anti-immigrant sentiments in response to the influx of Germans in the Midwest and Irish in the East during the mid-19th century. They viewed these immigrant groups as a threat to American values and culture, advocating for restrictions on Immigration and promoting nativist policies. This party capitalized on fears surrounding job competition, religious differences, and social change, leading to increased discrimination and hostility toward immigrants. Their response included political mobilization aimed at limiting the influence of immigrants in society and governance.
