Traditional America was WASP - White Anglo Saxon Protestant
Very few of anything else.
It was also the year we started a war with Mexico, and a peak year for Irish immigration. CATHOLIC Irish immigration.
We gobbled up a huge part of Catholic Mexico and the Nationalists of the day were not happy with all these Catholics being here.
Then we actually freed the slaves!
How did we survive?
