jan 1, 1790 - The Naturalization Act of 1790

Description:

The Naturalization Act of 1790 was the first law made in relation to citizenship. It restricted naturalization to only be eligible if the person was a "free white person" who had been in the United States for 2 years. This implied that people of color, including African Americans and Asian Americans, could not become citizens.
