The Sons Of The Sires: A History Of The Rise, Progress, And Destiny Of The American Party. To Which Is Added A Review Of The Letter Of The Hon. Henry A. Wise, Against The Know-Nothings by An American. This 1855 tract analyzes the Know-Nothing movement in the United States, presenting a polemical history of the American Party, its origins, principles, and objectives. It traces perceived threats to Protestantism, Bible-based education, and native-born governance, and argues for restricting foreign influence through changes to naturalization laws, safeguarding the Bible, Sabbath, and public schools, and promoting an expressly American citizenry. The work also includes a lengthy reply section defending the party against charges of secrecy or intolerance, and contends that the movement represents a legitimate, patriotic defense of national interests. The volume offers a snapshot of mid-19th-century political ferment and the anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic rhetoric that shaped American political discourse of the era.
