Citizen Know-Nothing

Sheet music for an anti-immigrant Nativist song proclaims 'Citizen Know-Nothing' as 'Uncle Sam's Youngest Son'. Formally called the American Party, the Know-Nothings received their name from their practice of secrecy, claiming to 'know nothing' when questioned about their politics. The party discriminated against immigrants and Roman Catholics, opposing all foreign influences. (Photo by MPI/Getty Images)
