Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of letters written by a Kentucky Catholic in response to the Know-Nothing movement's growing influence in America. The Know-Nothing movement, a fiercely anti-Catholic political party, was a response to a wave of Catholic immigration to the United States in the 1840s and 1850s. The author of this book, a prominent Catholic, seeks to refute the Know-Nothing claims that Catholics are disloyal to the United States because of their allegiance to the Pope. The author marshals historical examples and invokes the service of Catholic soldiers to the American cause in previous wars. The book is a primary document that provides insight into the religious tensions of the period and an interesting example of a Catholic apologia as it counters the prevailing anti-Catholic bigotry.
