Bloody Monday
Bloody Monday was August 6, 1855, in Louisville, Kentucky, an election day, when Protestant mobs attacked German and Irish Catholic neighborhoods. These riots grew out of the bitter rivalry between the Democrats and the nativist Know-Nothing Party. Multiple street fights raged, leaving twenty-two people dead, scores were injured, and much property was destroyed by fire. Five people were later indicted, but none were convicted, and the victims were not compensated.
==Causes==
Bloody Monday was sparked by the Know Nothing political party (officially known as the American Party), an offshoot of the shattered Whig Party, fed in large part by the radical, inflammatory anti-immigrant writings, especially those of the editor of the ''Louisville Journal'', George D. Prentice.〔Congleton, Betty, (1965). "George D. Prentice and Bloody Monday: A Reappraisal". ''Register of the Kentucky Historical Society'' 65: 220–39.〕 Irish and Germans were recent arrivals and now comprised a third of the city's population.〔McGann, Agnes G. (1944). ''Nativism in Kentucky to 1860''. Washington, D.C.: Catholic University of America.〕
