U.S. Naturalization Acts
The main laws that actually governed who could become a citizen, starting in 1790.
The Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 4) gives Congress power “to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization.”
Naturalization Act of 1790 (March 26, 1790 — 1 Stat. 103)
First federal naturalization statute. Signed by George Washington.
Who could apply:
“any alien, being a free white person” of “good character.”
That phrase excluded enslaved people, indentured servants, free Black people, Native Americans, and anyone Congress and the courts later treated as not “white” (including, in practice, most Asians).
Requirements:
– 2 years residence in the United States
– 1 year residence in the state where the petition was filed
– Proof of good character to a common-law court of record
– Oath or affirmation to support the Constitution
**Children:** Minor children (under 21) living in the U.S. at the time of a parent’s naturalization became citizens. Children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents were called “natural born citizens,” but citizenship did not descend if the father had never resided in the United States.

Zangwill’s line: “America is God’s crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming… God is making the American.” By the 1920s the metaphor was official policy and a fight. Factories, schools, and the Bureau of Naturalization ran Americanization drives — English classes, citizenship pageants, “one nation” pledges — to melt newcomers into a single American type.
The war and the Red Scare hardened that demand: loyalty in word, deed, and heart. Then the lid went on. The Immigration Act of 1924, set national-origin quotas.
America: one people out of many — until 1924 said how many, and from where.
