Know-Nothings

A party opposed to the holding of public office by immigrants or Roman Catholics.

The party was quite successful in the 1850s but split over the slavery question. Its official name was the American party. It picked up the “Know-Nothing” tag because its members, maintaining secrecy about the party's activities, customarily answered questions with, “I know nothing.”
