The Know Nothing Party: The History and Legacy of America’s Most Notorious Nativist Political Party , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min

“Immigration during the first five years of the 1850s reached a level five times greater than a decade earlier. Most of the new arrivals were poor Catholic peasants or laborers from Ireland and Germany who crowded into the tenements of large cities. Crime and welfare costs soared. Cincinnati's crime rate, for example, tripled between 1846 and 1853, and its murder rate increased sevenfold. Boston's expenditures for poor relief rose threefold during the same period.” (James McPherson)It is not uncommon that a failed movement or group from the past might be cited as a “cautionary” example for the world today. In the wake of contemporary debates over immigration, the “Know Nothings” have been regularly cited as an example of how dangerous nativist attitudes can become and, indeed, have proven to be in America’s history.Several columnists, for instance, have striven to make comparisons between the Know Nothings of antebellum America and President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, helping, in part, to generate modern interest in a political party that many Americans have heard of, but tend to know little about.The Know Nothing movement can actually be tied to a number of violent episodes and ethnically charged riots that occurred during the last 1850s.
