The machines manipulated the Irish for their own ends. They also played on their Irish nationalism and fierce hatred o f Great Britain. In this fashion the Dem ocratic machines sometimes stirred them to actions against the Abolitionists, who were pictured as British agents because of their close ties with the British anti-slavery societies, and as a threat to the employment o f Irish because o f their championing o f Blacks, who would compete for the sam e type o f jobs. Finally it was em phasized that a large section o f the newly founded Republican Party consisted o f a wing o f the recently deceased American Party (the Know-Nothings), the bigoted opponents o f foreign-born workers, especially o f the Roman Catholic Irish.
Though not offered any direct eco nomic benefits by the Republican platform, many Northern work ers supported that party on general considerations; and when the slavocracy actually began the war, the overwhelming majority— whether they had voted Democrat or Republican— supported the Union. Among the reasons why this was so was that the Northern wage worker regarded the United States with all its faults as the most demo cratic nation in the world. S. not only had these rights but could establish newspapers and parties and, de spite some legal hindrances, could organize into unions.

But what the appeals really came down to was the demand by each that the other accept its organization and program. Whereas for the labor reformers antislavery was but one o f a number o f issues— labor reform, anticlericalism, and free education being equally or more im portant— for the Garrisonians the abolition o f slavery had top— almost exclusive— priority.
