In 1844, Philadelphia was engulfed in violence as the nativist riots broke out, fueled by anti-Catholic sentiment against Irish immigrants. Sparked by false rumors that Catholics aimed to remove the Bible from public schools, these bloody confrontations saw over a thousand militia confront nativist mobs, resulting in hundreds of casualties and the destruction of Catholic churches and buildings. The heart of the conflict lay in Kensington and Southwark, where nativist fury met fierce resistance.
