nativists
The secret organization of nativists was known as the "The Know-Nothing Party". The party was formed in the 1850's to protect the rights of people who were born in America in opposition to immigrants. Nativism discriminated against people thought of as “outsiders” because they differed for cultural, ethnic, religious, or political reasons. Members of The Know-Nothing Party feared moral, economic, and political dangers that immigrants could possibly bring to America.
