They argued that white was the superior race. And that immigrants would destroy the country

Nativists attempted to use pseudo-scientific arguments to support their beliefs in the superiority of certain races and the inferiority of others, often citing misinterpreted or manipulated data from fields like anthropology and eugenics. They promoted ideas such as craniometry, which falsely correlated skull size with intelligence, to justify discriminatory practices and immigration restrictions. By cloaking their ideologies in a veneer of scientific legitimacy, nativists sought to legitimize their views and influence public policy against marginalized groups. This misuse of science aimed to reinforce social hierarchies and racial divisions.
Nativists in the past have attempted to use pseudo-science to justify their beliefs in racial superiority and discrimination. They leaned on flawed concepts like eugenics and phrenology to support their views and promote policies aimed at restricting immigration and suppressing particular ethnic or racial groups. These misguided attempts to use science to justify discriminatory practices have been widely discredited and criticized by the scientific community.

The scientist who notably stressed the use of experiments and observation in seeking knowledge was Francis Bacon. He is often regarded as the father of the scientific method, advocating for an empirical approach to scientific inquiry that relies on systematic experimentation and careful observation. Bacon's ideas laid the groundwork for modern scientific practices, emphasizing the importance of evidence and reproducibility in the pursuit of knowledge.

Nativists used social Darwinism to justify their belief in racial superiority and to argue against immigration, particularly from non-white or non-Western countries. They believed that certain races were biologically inferior and that their assimilation into American society would weaken the nation. Social Darwinism provided a pseudo-scientific justification for their discriminatory views.
