Great Post on the Origins of Know Nothings
On December 27, 2008
Elektratig, one of my favorite blogs on Antebellum American history, has a post worth reading on the origins of the name “Know Nothing” that you can read here. Recommended reading for those following my series on Know Nothings and/or Antebellum America.

Rene,
Jeez, I wasn’t expecting that! Thanks. Your series on the Know Nothings inspired me to go back and compose the post on a topic that had bugged for quite a while.
I love your blog and visit at least once a day. Keep up the good work!
