What did the No nothing party proposed to do?

The Know Nothing Party, active in the mid-19th century, primarily aimed to combat Immigration and the influence of Catholics in American society. They proposed strict restrictions on immigration and naturalization, promoting nativist sentiments and advocating for the exclusion of foreign-born individuals from political office. The party sought to preserve what they viewed as American values and identity, often expressing xenophobia and anti-Catholic sentiments. Their influence waned by the late 1850s as the political landscape shifted.
