Inhaltsangabe

This book analyzes colonial immigration laws in America prior to the Revolutionary era. The author traces the evolution of these laws from their initial focus on encouraging immigration to their later emphasis on regulation and restriction. The author examines the role of various factors, including religious and economic policies, in shaping these laws. The author concludes that the immigration laws of the colonial period laid the foundation for the complex and often contradictory immigration policies of the United States in the centuries that followed.

Excerpt from Colonial Immigration Laws: A Study of the Regulation of Immigration by the English Colonies in America

IT is a remarkable coincidence that the portion Of America to which, in 1614, John Smith gave the name Of New Eng land, should prove to be the place which, on account of its future inhabitants and institutions, most appropriately de served the name. TO no other colony or group Of colonies could the designation have been so aptly applied; for in none Of them did the English blood remain so pure, and the English traits Of character continue so unchanged.
