Description: Up for sale is a 1960 copy of "BRASS-KNUCKLE CRUSADE: THE GREAT KNOW-NOTHING CONSPIRACY: 1820-1860" by Carleton Beals.The disturbing mass movement that swept America in the decades preceding the Civil War comes to vivid life in the pages of this painstakingly researched, colorfully written book. Manifested by secret societies such as the Supreme Order of the Star Spangled Banner, and by political gangs like Baltimore's "Blood Tubs," and culminating in an alarmingly successful political party, the Know-Nothing movement was a hatred-born, bigotry-riddled crusade against Roman Catholics, Negroes, the foreign-born, and those who in any way failed to conform to the "right thinking" of old-line "native Americans."This book is in very good condition.
