Question

in the election of 1856, Millard fillmore was the know-nothing candidate and received 21 percent of the popular vote. What conclusion could be drawn from this fact?

Answer 1

I think you forgot to give the options along with the question. I am answering the question based on my knowledge and research. "A significant number of people were hostile toward immigrants" is the one conclusion that could be drawn from this fact. I hope that this is the answer that has helped you.

Answer 2

A conclusion for this fact can be that the know- nothing party supported anti-immigrant beliefs. Their supporters demanded that political offices be limited to native-born citizens. They said immigrants from other religions and ethnics would undermined their vision of an Anglo-saxon society.
