Respuesta :

Answer:

its call for immediate emancipation of all slaves- C.

Answer:

The correct answer is E. What attracted voters to the Know-Nothing Party was its denunciation of Roman Catholic immigrants.

Explanation:

The Know Nothing Party was a nativist party in the United States, operating at the national level in the 1840s and 1850s.  

The party emerged largely due to the fears that existed in American society at the time that Catholic Irish immigrants, who were often regarded as hostile to American values ​​and ruled by the pope, could destroy the country. The ideological organizer and first leader of this party was politician Lewis Levin, who came from a family of Jewish immigrants.

Acting mainly from 1854 to 1856, primarily in the states of New England, the party sought to minimize immigration (especially from Germany, Ireland and other countries with a predominantly Catholic population) and complicate naturalization by extending its term to 21 years, but its efforts had no significant success.
