Anti-Masonic Party  

Definition

  • Born in the late 1820s in upstate New York, the Anti-Masonic Party focused the strong, anti-elitist mood of the period on a conspicuous symbol of privilege, the Masons. The Masons were a secret fraternal organization with membership drawn largely from the upper class. [Source: Elections A to Z; Anti-Masonic Party (1832–1836)]
