Question

Which of the following statements about the American Party is FALSE? a. Because the Democratic Party lacked organization and leadership, many Democrats went over to join the American Party. b. The American Party was strongly supported by Catholics. c. The American Party was founded on the belief that foreign immigrants should not be allowed to serve in public office. d. The American Party wanted stricter immigration laws.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is b. because The Know Nothing movement also briefly emerged as a major political party in the form of the American Party, and they were primarily an anti-Catholic, anti-immigration, and xenophobic movement, originally starting as a secret society. So they wouldn't be supported by Catholics if they were anti-Catholic, right?
