The Know Nothing Party is a historical non-fiction book written by Humphrey Joseph Desmond and published in 1905. The book explores the history and rise of the Know Nothing Party, a political movement that emerged in the United States in the mid-19th century. The party was known for its anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic views, and its members were sworn to secrecy about their activities and beliefs. Desmond delves into the origins of the party, tracing its roots back to the Anti-Masonic Party of the early 1800s. He examines the party's growth and influence, including its role in the election of President Millard Fillmore in 1850. The book also explores the party's downfall, as it was unable to maintain its momentum and eventually dissolved.Throughout the book, Desmond provides detailed accounts of the party's major figures and events, including its secret meetings and rituals. He also analyzes the party's impact on American politics and society, particularly in relation to the issue of immigration.Overall, The Know Nothing Party offers a comprehensive and insightful look into one of the most controversial and influential political movements in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
