Answer 1

The correct answer is - B. The increase in immigrants from Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American party or the Know-Nothing Party was formed against the policies of Jackson, it was an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant movement against the immigrants.

These native-born Americans thought that they were superior to immigrants coming from outside of America especially from Europe and wanted to limit immigration or ban their rights to vote and other rights. The goal of this movement was to fight immigrant and catholic influences and promote traditional American culture.
