With the naturalization law of 1790 "the eighteenth centuries free white persons became the nineteenth centuries Celts, Slavs, Hebrews, Iberics, Latins, and Anglo-Saxons, who in turn became the twentieth centuries Caucassians, as popular recognition of consanguinity of racial difference fluctuated in response to national, regional and local circumstances." According to the naturalization law;

Ten years later, in 1787, slavery was prohibited in the Northwest Territory by the Northwest Ordinance. The Northwest Territory was the first organized territory of the United States. States pertaining to the Northwest Territory: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The abolition of slavery in the Northwest Territory led to thoughts held by pro-slavery southerners that the North had the edge in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Therefore, in 1787, two delegates by the names of Roger Sherman and James Wilson introduced the Three Fifths compromise in the Philadelphia Convention.

Earl M. Maltz is a professor at Rutgers School of Law, who teaches constitutional law, employment discrimination, conflicts of law, and a seminar on the Supreme Court. He has written two books and various articles surrounding the topics of constitutional law, statutory interpretation, the role of the courts and legal history. In his article, “The Fourteenth Amendment and Native American Citizenship,” Maltz argues that the status of Native Americans were considered when writing the Fourteenth Amendment, yet discussions on the topic rarely focus on the role that they played. I think that the topic of Native American citizenship rose separately from African-American citizenship and that Maltz’s use of court cases throughout the text furthered
History provides several horrible periods of violence, fear and murder. Such horrible acts against humanity have been committed in the name of religion, colonization, and racial superiority. The Holocaust, was one of the most catastrophic and saddest events in history, where about 11 million people, including Jewish children, families, and political dissenters were mass murdered. However, there exists another mournful and cruel period that marked the lives of many Sephardic Jews with secrecy and fear. One hardly hears about the harassment, rejection and humiliation of Sephardic Jewry in Spain, Portugal, and countries like Mexico, at the hands of the Holy Office of the Inquisition, which began in 1492. Due to these events, Sephardic Jews found themselves facing one of the most complex decisions of their lives and those of future generations; conversion, expulsion or death. The reasons for conversion are complex, as many converted by force and others for social or political reasons. As a result, converts became known as Conversos and “marranos /chuetas, and the latter are derogatory terms, as the names imply “swine” (Hordes 6). Another important term is Anusim, referring to those "whose conversion was prompted by violence and fear not sincerity” (Hordes 6). Marranos, were secretive people often, “keeping their children from their Jewish identity, until they reached an age where discretion could be trusted "(Telushkin 195). All of these events, have led to the complex phenomena, of the crypto-Jews in the new world, including Mexico and the American Southwest. Thus, sparking new areas of interest and research of their practices, customs, authenticity, and identification.
Christopher McCandless’ long, fascinating, but ultimately fatal journey into the wilderness of Alaska is depicted in the biography, Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer. Late in the of summer of 1990, a very young Christopher McCandless left his ordinary world in Annandale, Virginia to pursue a solitary life in the untamed wilds of Alaska. Many will insinuate that Christopher McCandless’ actions were childish and idiotic, but a stronger argument would be that his unconventional thinking and desire to live life on his own terms allowed him to reach self-actualization.

Many of the signers of the Declaration of Independence represented slave states themselves, and even though in an originalist approach to the Declaration slaves and women may have not been considered as equals which is what Douglas states, but in the approach that Lincoln takes in his speeches men can refer to the humankind as a whole. In the Law of Nature everyone is equal which becomes chaos. When infants are born they also have no choice as to who they are in their life, they are all created equally. Therefore what makes one group of people more important than others? This is the point that Lincoln makes that Douglas cannot fight against. Douglas never states that slavery is wrong, even though he clearly states being from Illinois that they are not a slave state. In this situation he even makes it seem as if he supports something that if the roles were reversed, if he had been born with darker skin rather than a shade of white he would have had an entirely different view

Migration means leaving or abandoning something, and migration is also defined as the movement of individuals from place to place for the purpose of settling in the new place. A term that defines migration as the transition from the mother country to stability in another country, In which they move individually or collectively from their home country to a new home.
