The Know-Nothings gained power in the 1840s due to the rise of nativist sentiment and anti-immigrant attitudes. They capitalized on the fears and prejudices of Americans who were concerned about the influx of Irish and German immigrants and their perceived impact on American culture and job opportunities. The Know-Nothings sought to restrict Immigration and limit the political power of these groups, resonating with a significant number of voters.
