Now an answer from a historian that has taught this for twenty years:
1. The KN party was formed with members of the now defunct Whig Party.
2. The KNs were extremely anti-immigration since they felt they took American jobs away from American citizens
3. They opposed the expansion of slavery into the territories
4. They favored internal improvements such as canals, roads, railroads, and bridges
5. They pulled votes from John C. Fremont (the Republican candidate) and led to the election of James Buchanan.

They were rabidly anti-Catholic, and particulary hateful of Catholic Irish Immigrants.
