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.
