The political proposals of the American Party consisted of measures against immigration, including the veto of immigrants to stand for elections and the requirement of 21 years of residence to obtain citizenship. The motto was summarized in 'only Americans will rule America'. The party reached several mayorships, control of the Massachusetts Assembly and 43 seats in the federal Congress. In 1856 his presidential candidate, Millard Fillmore, won 22% of the vote.
