The Junior Order of United American Mechanics (JOUAM) was a prominent 19th-century American nativist, anti-Catholic, and patriotic fraternal organization founded in 1853 as a youth auxiliary to the OUAM. It promoted American-made goods, supported public schools, restricted membership to native-born Protestant men, and provided funeral benefits. At its peak, it was a major patriotic order, even establishing a national orphanage.
