Known as an artist and writer as well as an inventor, Samuel F. B Morse wrote a series of highly popular newspaper articles denouncing the immigration of Catholics to the U.S.
These were published under the pen name “Brutus.”
Gathered into book form in 1835, they helped create an American tradition of anti-immigration sentiment.
