"By the mid nineteenth century, anti-Catholicism had become a central conflict in
America. Fueling the dissent were Protestant groups dedicated to maintaining what
they understood to be the Christian vision and spirit of the "founding fathers." Afraid
of the religious and moral impact of Catholics, they advocated for stricter laws in
order to maintain the Protestant predominance of America. Of particular concern to
some of these native-born citizens, or "nativists," were Roman Catholic immigrants
whose increasing presence and perceived allegiance to the pope alarmed them. The Nativist
Movement in American History draws attention to the religious dimensions of nativism.
Concentrating on the mid-nineteenth century and examining the anti-Catholic violence
that erupted along the East Coast, Katie Oxx historicizes the burning of an Ursuline
convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the Bible Riots in Philadelphia, and the theft
and destruction of the "Pope's Stone" in Washington, D.C. In a concise narrative,
together with trial transcripts and newspaper articles, poems, and personal narratives,
the author introduces the nativist movement to students, illuminating the history
of exclusion and these formative clashes between religious groups."--Publisher's website
