Plymouth Colony English settlers – Pilgrims – seeking religious freedom "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." — U.S. Constitution

1619 African Arrival in Virginia 20 Africans Transported in a Dutch ship, stolen from a Spanish ship Traded for food, left in Jamestown, VA as servants “Servant” becomes “Slave” in less than a generation – at first justified by religious difference, later by skin color.

The Naturalization Act of 1790 First law setting rules for granting of US citizenship (Constitution grants that power to Congress) All “free white persons” of “good character” Excludes: American Indians, slaves, free Blacks and Asians

Potato Famine (Ireland, 1845 – 1851) 1 million dead 1 million emigrated Population of Ireland decreased 25% Ireland produced ample food for export – Irish natives couldn’t afford to feed themselves By 1850, the Irish made up a quarter of the population in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Shift in Immigration Old Immigrants (1620 – 1840) Protestants England, Germany, the Netherlands White, fair hair and eyes New Immigrants (1840 – 1920) Irish, Asian, Eastern European, Italian Looked different Catholic, Jewish, many different faiths Led to emergence of “nativist” movements
