“The Know-Nothing Party," Nativism, and Springfield, Ohio Today”
If you have been keeping up with the news, you may have heard about the city of Springfield, Ohio, where there have been over 33 bomb threats (as of this posting) targeting its Haitian residents. How did this situation come about? Today, we will delve into the origins of the Know Nothing Party, also known as the American Party, a nativist political movement in the United States during the 1840s and 1850s. Understanding the history and policies of this party provides valuable insight into the current immigration debates in the U.S.
