18 agos 1824 anni - General Colonization Law

Descrizione:

The Mexican government recommended following the precedent of the earlier Spanish law and allowing foreign settlers to help colonize the northern territories. The proposal suggested that Europeans and American citizens be recruited for most of the states and provinces. This statute allowed foreigners to gain title to land that was not within 20 leagues of the border of another country or within 10 leagues of the coast. Settlers would be exempt from taxes for ten years.
