Description

In this episode, we explore the ultimately-failed American Party, also known as the Know-Nothings. Although not purely an anti-immigration group, that part of their ideology defined them, brought them to prominence, and ultimately destroyed them. But starting off, we explore Catholic and Anti-Catholic views in Antebellum America, plus a quick look at Prohibition.
