Know Nothing

“Know nothing” Movement vs. Anti-Chinese campaign Both the Anti-bellum nativist movement and the Anti-Chinese movement post-Civil War shared the concept “anti-immigrants,” and the fear that the foreigners would threaten American society’s well-being as a republican society and an ideally “white” society.
