Title: The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic Author: Kevin Kenny Narrator: Bill Andrew Quinn Format: mp3 Length: 10 hrs and 33 mins Release date: 01-16-24 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: History Publisher's Summary: Today the United States considers immigration a federal matter. Yet, despite America's reputation as a "nation of immigrants," the Constitution is silent on the admission, exclusion, and expulsion of foreigners. Before the Civil War, the federal government played virtually no role in regulating immigration. Offering an original interpretation of nineteenth-century America, The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic argues that the existence, abolition, and legacies of slavery were central to the emergence of a national immigration policy.
