Through the Golden Door: Immigration After the Civil War
Monday, Apr. 22, 7:00pm
America’s doors were open to all before the Civil War, with few restrictions. Afterwards, the laws began tightening, with exclusions, quotas, even required visas. How did the immigration laws affect your ancestors who immigrated after the Civil War? What hoops did they have to jump through to enter America’s “golden door”? All welcome, no registration required.
