This thesis contains a descriptive study of antiCatholic/alien content in The Fiery Cross and Dawn. In addition, the paper includes a history of anti-Catholicism to put the study period into perspective and discusses the sociological reasons for the upsurge in anti-Catholicism during' the early 1900s.Not only was a list of traditional anti-Catholic/The so was a group of themes peculiar to the times, e. g., the massive immigration to the United States of unlettered foreigners, most of whom happened to be Catholic.Although slurs against Negroes were printed in Fiery Cross and Dawn, it is quite clear that both newspapers were predominantly vehicles for anti-Catholic/alien propaganda from 1922-1924.
