Sommario/riassunto

An examination of the Know-Nothing Party, founded in the USA in 1854 as a political protest against the granting of American citizenship to Catholic immigrants. It studies how such a party managed to elect eight governors and 100 Congressman, as well as thousands of local officials, by 1855.
