Catholic immigrants from Ireland and Germany. By 1854, Know-Nothing membership had grown rapidly to over a million, and the party proceeded to take control of several states in New England and the South.

Early within the United States, roughly 1792 through 1824, the country was starting to form two sets of political views. These two sets were the Federalists and the Republicans, largely formed by Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson.

By the 1830s, the American people populated a third of the North American continent, but alas it was still not enough.
