Скачать или смотреть Know Nothings' Rule in Massachusetts

In mid-19th century Massachusetts, the Know Nothings' rise to power marked a pivotal moment, taking nearly all state legislature seats from 1854 to 1857. Beyond their nativist roots, they championed causes such as abolition of slavery, women's rights, business regulation, and labor rights, reshaping the state’s social and political fabric. They introduced important regulations on railroads, insurance, and utilities, and promoted public education and social welfare, including free textbooks and support for specialized schools.

However, their tenure was also defined by strong anti-Irish Catholic measures, limiting the rights of Irish Catholic immigrants to vote, hold office, and practice their faith in schools. Their push for reforms led to increased state spending and higher taxes, sparking controversy and dwindling popularity.
