Description:
In this important book, Anbinder argues that the Know Nothing's phenomenal success in the pre-Civil War era was inextricably linked to their anit-immigrant and anit-Catholic political agenda as well as to the firm stance their northern members took against the extension of slavery. Nativism and Slavery presents the first comprehensive history of the Know Nothings and a new perspective of the political crisis that let to the Civil War.
