Question

Which was a goal of the Know-Nothing Party during the mid-1800s?

restricting immigrant voting rights
educating immigrant children
providing housing for immigrants
promoting the Catholic Church

Answer 1

The Catholics would then place the nation under the Pope's rule. The Know-Nothing Party intended to prevent Catholics and immigrants from being elected to political offices. Its members also hoped to deny these people jobs in the private sector, arguing that the nation's business owners needed to employ true Americans.
