Know-Nothing Party  

Définition

  • THE KNOW-NOTHING PARTY was a short-lived nativist party in the 19th century that was dedicated to electing American-born Protestants to government office, and a platform that limited foreign participation in the political system. The party earned its nickname because originally members were sworn to secrecy and pledged to feign ignorance when questioned about their knowledge of, or membership in, any such organization.
