In 1856, in the year that Margaret Garabrandt was born, on February 18th, The American Party, also called the "Know-Nothings" because they were an anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant movement, assembled in Philadelphia to nominate their first Presidential candidate, former President Millard Fillmore. The party sought to keep the "purity" of elections by blocking "impure" foreigners.
In 1872, on December 4th, the empty American ship Mary Celeste was found in the Atlantic Ocean.
