The Know-Nothing Party, also known as the American Party, aimed to undermine immigrant voting strength due to their anti-immigrant and nativist beliefs. They sought to limit the influence of immigrants, particularly Catholics, in American politics by extending the naturalization process and restricting public office to native-born individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is C: It wanted to undermine immigrant voting strength.
