The Know Nothing Party nominated Millard Fillmore as their candidate for president in the 1856 election. Fillmore, who had previously served as the 13th president, was chosen due to his moderate stance on issues related to Immigration and his opposition to the expansion of slavery. The party aimed to capitalize on nativist sentiments and concerns about immigration during that period.
