  American Party

  1854? 1858?

  An antebellum political party that supported nativist, temperance, anti-Catholic, and other hreform policies. Also known as the Know Nothing Party, it gained prominence in the mid-1850s following the downfall of the Whig Party. Membership grew from the support of native-born, Protestant voters who hoped to reduce the influence of immigrants and Roman Catholics in American society. As a national organization, the American Party dissolved on the eve of the Civil War due to internal divisions over slavery. Notable candidates included Millard Fillmore in the 1856 presidential election and Charles S. Morehead, who ran on a Know-Nothing ticket in Kentucky's 1855 gubernatorial election.
