Early American Anti Parties

by funatical

Theres a lot of people who say being against someone isnt a political ideology, but thar isnt exactly true. There has been the Know Nothings, and the Anti Masons.

What was the history of the anti parties, what did they believe, and how successful where they? Where they a true political ideology?

Thanks guys. Whenever my brain itches I come on over hear for enlightenment.

On the Anti Masonic Party, /u/secessionisillegal answered my question on how they ended up nominating a former mason for president

and also linked to an answer by /u/CoachZed that adds more info on the historical context the party was founded in.

Obviously more answers on the topic always welcome!
