The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic
Policing Mobility in the Nineteenth-Century United States
Description
A sweeping history of nineteenth-century America, this book shows how slavery shaped immigration policy in the United States during the years when states controlled mobility within and across their borders. Only after the abolition of slavery did Congress begin to implement a national immigration policy, applying the policies of border control and deportation to different racial groups that continue to generate tensions between state and federal authority to thepresent day.
