It met in Columbus, Ohio in June 1924, with 27 delegates present. Anti-Catholic activist former judge Gilbert O. Nations was nominated on the first ballot for President of the United States, with 20 votes to 7 for Pennsylvania GovernorGifford Pinchot, whose supporters announced that he had declined the party's nomination, insisting that he preferred to work within the Republican Party. Former California congressman Charles Hiram Randall was nominated for vice-president, with 16 votes to 10 for Georgia congressman William D. Upshaw; Upshaw supporters announced that he planned to seek the Democratic nomination for that office, and (failing that) to seek re-election to Congress. There were also calls for a merger with the Prohibition Party; more than one delegate was also a delegate to the Prohibition national convention scheduled to be held in the same city in a few days. (The Prohibition Party would reject the call for merger, nominating its own slate instead.) Randall later declined to run, in order to concentrate on a race for Congress in California on both the American and Prohibition party tickets; and the national committee selected Leander L. Pickett, a former member of the Prohibition Party in Kentucky, as the vice-presidential nominee.

The American Party of the United States is a conservative party in the United States. The party adheres to its Permanent Principles, which were established in 1969.
The party began as part of the American Independent Party, supporters of George Wallace's 1968 campaign for the presidency. In 1969, the AIP became the American Party at a convention attended by representatives from 37 states. Following the 1976 election, the American Party split from the American Independent Party. Both of the parties have nominated candidates for the presidency and other offices, although the AIP has considered itself a California affiliate of the Constitution Party. In New York, the American Party ran a state ticket in 1974 under the name of Courage Party, because a state law there prohibits the use of the word "American" on the ballot. The American Party won its strongest finish in the 1972 presidential election; nominee John G. Schmitz carried 1,090,673 votes (3rd place).
In 1990, a small number of members of the party began the Christian Party, whose membership reportedly grew at a faster rate, but nothing came of it.

The movement arose in response to an influx of migrants, and promised to "purify" American politics by limiting or ending the influence of Irish Catholics and other immigrants, thus reflecting nativist and anti-Catholic sentiment. It was empowered by popular fears that the country was being overwhelmed by German and IrishCatholic immigrants, whom they saw as hostile to republican values, and as being controlled by the Pope in Rome. Mainly active from 1854 to 1856, the movement strove to curb immigration and naturalization, but met with little success. Membership was limited to Protestant men. There were few prominent leaders, and the largely middle-class membership was fragmented over the issue of slavery.
