What exactly did "free white persons" in the 1790 Naturalization Act mean? Could the Irish become citizens? Italians? Greeks? Poles? Finns? North Africans? Jews?

I see a lot of people claiming now that "white" back then only meant North Western europeans but that does not sound right to me.

As with many things in early US law, depends on who you ask, pissing contests about who and who isn't white are as old as the classification's existence.
>>
>>3247149

But surely it wasn't just random. It wasn't like half the judges would decide an Italian wasn't white and half the judges would say that he was. There had to be some kind of consensus around that time.

This. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ truly did change everything. He united the Arabs and showed the world we were stronger than all other nations. If the (((US))) and Israel stopped keeping us divided we would destroy everyone else, America nor the Russians would stand a chance. Dar al-Islam will one day return.

Why were the people who settled the Western Frontier of the USA overwhelmingly Anglo-American? Wouldn't this demographic already be comfortably landed on the East Coast?
12 posts and 5 images submitted.

With the expansion of American territory into the west, vast areas of land were available for farming, ranching, and development for next to nothing in price, or were even free after the Homestead Act. People always have the need to explore, expand, and just try for a better life somewhere else.

And don't forget, there was gold and silver in them hills! What young man wouldn't at least dream of a chance to escape the boring, settled life back east and head into the frontier to strike it rich?

>Being closer in time means that you're more accurate

Only if you were actually, physically present at the event, or you have the ability to interview people who were. Otherwise, being closer in time is actually a disadvantage because it means you don't have access to modern archeology.

Why were the British so outrageously cruel to the Irish? I had no idea that the Irish were so ruthlessly oppressed until reading this. Irish could be jailed or killed for expressing their native culture in any way, for playing traditional Irish sports, for speaking the Irish language, for playing Irish music, for telling stories of their ancestors, for displaying traditional artworks, for inter-marrying with English women, for owning any expensive horses, or even for attending the wrong churches. I thought Britain was supposed to be a land of tolerance, why would they do such a thing?

Don't worry but this isn't another /pol/ thread

But seriously, did "rags on stick" torches exist? You know, the kind which they most used in historica movies? I mean, it seems to be a highly inefficient lighting considering you'd use up it's fuel pretty quick.

You're better off bearing a cheap clay oil lamp around or, as these people show, a lamp on a stick.

The "rag" isn't actually the fuel source on those old-timey torches. Said rag was actually soaked in a variety of slow burning substances that were what actually made the torch useful. The cloth was merely a medium to hold the fuel.

They were probably chanting "You will not replace us" and whoever published the picture freeze-framed on the "you" to make them look stupid. Not that they needed the help.

No. They should have broken up the big plantations and gave them their own land where they lived, in the South.

When are we going to get a miniseries about the Napoleonic Wars from Austria's perspective?

>Miraculously held the line against the Grande Armee at its height
>Great arc about the Imperial Army learning from its mistakes and rallying to form a fighting force that could match Napoleon in the field
>Background politics of squabbling in the Royal family that crippled the war effort, but eventually got its shit together while putting the Army High Command in its place
>Having to deal with Russians as their only ally after Prussia, (when the walls) fell and Britain abandoning the continent
