Web Site Reviews
On the cover:This 1848 membership certificate of the Order of United Americans (OUA), a major nativist fraternal organization and antecedent of the Know-Nothing party, designed and lithographed by Charles Parsons, depicts Liberty atop a pedestal and surrounded by men wearing OUA sashes. The clothing beneath the sashes signals the wearers' diverse occupations and social positions, and the image of fellowship thus celebrates the OUA's ideal of pan-class national harmony. Courtesy Library of Congress, #LC-USZ62-090659. See Bruce Levine, "Conservatism, Nativism, and Slavery: Thomas R. Whitney and the Origins of the Know-Nothing Party," p. 455.
