Synopsis
Excerpt from The Know Nothings: An Expose of the Secret Order of Know Nothings, the Most Ludicrous and Startling Yankee "Notion" Ever Conceived
Germans, Irish, English, Catholic or Protestant, are no more anxious for political offices and their emoluments, than native-bom Ameri cans are; and where is the consistency of Americans banding them selves together in secret fraternity, on this score, since our government claims to offer equal protection and franchise to all of every blood and clime? No the Tribune, Herald, and the entire press of the country have conjectured in vain, in regard to the objects of this new order for the ultimate is unknown to even the great mass of Know Nothings themselves.

The Know Nothings: An Expose of the Secret Order of Know Nothings
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book combines historical analysis with a look at current events to unravel the origins of the secretive Know Nothing organization in the United States. Beginning with the claim that the group is inspired by the ancient builders of the Tower of Babel, the author traces its development from its humble beginnings to its explosive growth and national influence in the mid-1800s. The author situates the Know Nothings within the broader context of secret societies in America, and explores the underlying themes of xenophobia, nativism, and anti-Catholicism that fueled its rise. Through the examination of initiation rituals, oaths, and symbols, the book uncovers the organization's bizarre and extreme ideology, while also highlighting the dangers of secrecy and the suppression of free speech. Ultimately, this book serves as a timely reminder of the corrosive effects of division and intolerance, and the importance of vigilance against those who seek to undermine the values of liberty and equality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
