Abstract

Chapter 5 discusses how some Know Nothing felt the American party’s candidates’ inaction and the lethargy of the party’s leaders led to the party’s defeat in 1857. Some Know Nothings continued to oppose the Democrats and the Democrats’ radicalism, but the party witnessed its strength reduced to the New Orleans area. The party did remain successful in New Orleans and many old Whigs and Know Nothings continued to resist the Democrats. This chapter discusses the 1859 state election when an “Opposition” ticket appeared to replace the Know Nothings. In 1860, remnants of Know Nothings, Whigs, and a few Democrats refused to support Breckinridge and hoped to avoid a national disaster. These conservative men supported the Constitutional Union party, with a few old Know Nothings deciding not to “accept Unionism at any price,” and going with Breckinridge. In May 1862, Know Nothingism disappeared with the Know Nothing mayor of New Orleans surrendering the city to the Union forces
本土主义斗争:1858 - 1860
第五章讨论了一些“一无所知”人士对美国民主党候选人的不作为和该党领导人的昏睡导致该党在1857年的失败的看法。一些“一无所知”的人继续反对民主党和民主党的激进主义,但民主党的力量已经缩小到新奥尔良地区。辉格党确实在新奥尔良取得了成功,许多老辉格党和“一无所知”党继续抵制民主党。本章讨论1859年的州选举,当时“反对党”的票似乎取代了一无所知。1860年,无知党残余、辉格党和少数民主党人拒绝支持布雷肯里奇,希望避免一场全国性的灾难。这些保守派人士支持立宪联盟党,一些“一无所知”的老议员决定不“不惜任何代价接受联盟党”,并支持布雷肯里奇。1862年5月,随着“一无所知”的新奥尔良市长向联邦军队投降,“一无所知”主义消失了
