The '''Know Nothing Party''' was a party formed in the 1840s and grew out of [[nativist]] sentiment (especially in the Northeast). A secret group called the Order of the Star Spangled Banner formed and out of that the Know Nothing Party formed. In the [[United States presidential election, 1852|1952 presidential election]], they ran [[Millard Fillmore]] as their candidate.
