Description:Hiya Hoping someone here may have some resource ideas to help with a question I have. Been researching laws regarding interracial marriage around the time of the American Civil War. I can find yards and yards of material regarding the US, but am specifically in need of info regarding Canadian laws. There are sources that cite laws pertaining to Aboriginal rights in Canada, ie; with regard to the govt enacting restrictive laws to try to claim land from the native population, but I can't find anything to support or deny if there were laws in place to prevent marriage between blacks and whites as there were in America. Due to my current residence in the UK and not in the States, sources would have to be via internet or perhaps volumes that might be purchased online?
