Yep – nationalists in disguise, they were a party opposed to the holding of public office by immigrants or Roman Catholics. The Know-Nothings, also known as “nativists,” insisted that only true, “native” Americans should serve in the government. The party was quite successful in the 1850s but split over the slavery question. Its official name was the American party. It picked up the “Know-Nothing” tag because its members, maintaining secrecy about the party’s activities, customarily answered questions with, “I know nothing.”
Republicans are the 21st-century Know-Nothing Party
I assume you mean the political party right? – interesting, the main aim of the Know-Nothing movement was to combat foreign influences and to uphold and promote traditional American ways. Traditional as in Native.

It is not only corporations that are acknowledging the importance of environmental issues, but also the education system. Government officials and school boards across the world are beginning to develop a new way of teaching. Globalization is now thought of as an important concept to understanding the world.
