| But the Know-Nothings were far from an ignorant mob, as immigration
| proponents, probably misunderstanding the nickname, tend to assume.
| Recent research has shown that they were a cross-section of solid
| middle- and upper-middle-class citizens. In fact, the Know- Nothings
| never actually proposed restricting immigration. They simply urged
| the country, in the words of Know-Nothing Governor of Massachusetts
| Henry J. Gardner, to "nationalize before we naturalize" any new
| immigrants. Nor were the Know-Nothings anti-Semitic. They were even
| fervent Abolitionists, including in their fraternity the future
| general in chief of the Union armies, Ulysses S. Grant.
What is the dominant culture that Trump and DeSantis hope to
assimilate new Americans into?
