The Republican Party and the history of anti-immigration parties in America's past
10/30/2014
The Federalists who opposed immigrants from France and Ireland in the eighteenth century, the anit-immigrant wing of the Whig Party, and the Nativists or Know-Nothing party during Lincoln's time, all failed to win long term political support. The French and the Irish in north eastern cities and the Germans in Lincoln's time shifted their support. Benjamin Franklin discusses the issue in his letters and said the thrifty and industrious Germans added much value to the new nation. Lincoln supported the integration of German immigrants and opposed the Know- Nothing supporters.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
