In this regard, what did the Know Nothings oppose and why?
The Free spoilers opposed extension of slavery in territories because they didn't want slaves to take their jobs. What did the Know Nothings oppose? The Know-Nothings opposed imigrants because they didn't like people who weren't Americans/Catholics.
Likewise, what were some of the results of the nativist movement? Immigration quotas were the result of such nativist campaigning. The Chinese Exclusion Act sought to keep out Chinese, Japanese, and Indian immigrants because they were different, and because they worked the gold mines for low wages, taking away economic opportunities for whites.
