Extract

The story of the American Protective Association, a manifestation of narrow nationalism in the closing years of the last century, is an almost forgotten phase of American history. Though a few may be fairly familiar with certain aspects of the history of the American Protective Association, a study of the attitude of the Swedish American press toward the Association, supposedly hostile to the immigrants, may offer some interesting side-lights on general trends of American history from 1890 to 1896.

6 In the election of 1890, in Wisconsin, Catholic and Lutheran immigrants in opposition to the Bennett Law gave the Democratic party their support with the result that the Bennett Law was repealed by the victorious Democrats in 1891. This was looked upon by the super-patriots as a defeat of Americanism and made the “school question” in 1892 an important political issue.
