The Problem of Immigration in a Slaveholding Republic
Immigration presented a constitutional and political problem in the nineteenth-century United States. Until the 1870s, the federal government played a very limited role in regulating immigration. The states controlled mobility within and across their borders and set the rules for community membership. This book demonstrates how the existence, abolition, and legacies of slavery shaped immigration policy as it moved from the local to the national l…

The Antislavery Origins of US Immigration Policy
Congress played almost no role in regulating the entry of immigrants before the Civil War. The states passed their own laws controlling the admission, exclusion, and expulsion of foreigners, as well as the movement of free and enslaved African Americans. When a national immigration policy began to emerge for the first time during the Civil War, it was shaped by the dominant ideology of antislavery. In 1862 Congress passed legislation prohibiting …
Introduction
IntroductionImmigration in the Civil War Era Katherine Carper and Kevin Kenny While recent immigration scholars have turned most of their attention to the twentieth century, many historians are also reexamining immigration policy in the mid-nineteenth century. Alison Clark Efford, in a recent review essay in this journal, reflects on how nineteenth-century immigration historiography is marked by an “imperial framework in which the government of t…
Round table
The nature of Ireland's place within the British Empire continues to attract significant public and scholarly attention. While historians of Ireland have long accepted the complexity of Ireland's imperial past as both colonised and coloniser, the broader public debate has grown more heated in recent months, buffeted by Brexit, the Decade of Centenaries and global events. At the same time, the imperatives of social movements such as Black Lives Ma…

The American Irish: A History, is the first concise, general history of its subject in a generation.

While most previous accounts of the subject have concentrated on the nineteenth century, and especially the period from the famine (1840s) to Irish independence (1920s), The American Irish: A History …

Diaspora and Irish Migration History
The Irish in the Empire
This chapter describes the story of the Irish in the British Empire at large. From the beginnings of the British Empire in the sixteenth century to its demise in the twentieth, the Irish were both subjects and agents of imperialism. Colonized by their more powerful neighbour, the Irish lived at the heart of the world's greatest empire. The story of how Ireland was conquered, colonized, and ruled by its more powerful neighbour is a familiar one, l…
Ireland and the British Empire
Modern Irish history was determined by the rise, expansion, and decline of the British Empire. British imperial history, from the age of Atlantic expansion to the age of decolonization, was moulded in part by Irish experience. But the nature of Ireland's position in the Empire has always been a matter of contentious dispute. Was Ireland a sister kingdom and equal partner in a larger British state? Or was it, because of its proximity and strategic…
Diaspora and Comparison
If a single theme has dominated the historiography of the United States in the last decade, it is the need to extend the boundaries of inquiry beyond the nation-state, to internationalize the subject and render it more cosmopolitan. Placing American history in a global context was a central initiative of the Organization of American Historians (OAH) in the late 1990s, with the Journal of American History. devoting several round tables and special…

Making Sense of the Molly Maguires
Twenty Irish immigrants, suspected of comprising a secret terrorist organization called the Molly Maguires, were executed in Pennsylvania in the 1870s for the murder of sixteen men. Ever since, there has been enormous disagreement over who the Molly Maguires were, what they did, and why they did it, as virtually everything we now know about the Molly Maguires is based on hostile descriptions of their contemporaries. Arguing that such sources are …
