Description: Beals, Carleton. Brass-Knuckle Crusade. The Great Know-Nothing Conspiracy 1820-1860. From the American Procession Series. Hastings House 1960 Hardcover in DJ Good/Good Octavo 312 pp "The disturbing mass movement that swept America in the decades preceding the Civil War comes to vivid life in the pages of this painstakingly researched, colorfully written book. Manifested by secret societies such as the Supreme Order of the Star-Spangled Banner, and by political gangs like Baltimore’s “Blood Tub,” and culminating in an alarmingly successful political party, the Know-Nothing movement was hatred-born, bigotry-riddled crusade against Roman Catholics, Negroes, the foreign-born, and those who in any way failed to conform to the “right thinking” of old-line “native Americans.” The author has examined all the facets-from roots to evil blossoms-of the anti-minorities movement that came so close to establishing itself in decisive political power."
