I found this clip of Madame Chiang‘s US tour useful to visualize the parade mentioned in the novel. #HistoricalContext

That-Bookish-Hiker Very interesting! I first heard about them after watching Dickinson on Apple+ which follows Emily Dickinsons life loosely and her father is running for senate and he mentions them. At first I thought it was made up but nope. Thanks for sharing! 3y

KathyWheeler The first time I heard about this party, I thought it was a joke, but no. 3y

Lcsmcat Thanks for sharing this. I learned about the Know Nothing Party in high school history, but only as a failed presidential bid. I didn‘t know that they had gotten people into state legislatures or the House. 3y
