anti-miscegenation laws  

Définition(s)

  • Anti-miscegenation laws criminalized both marriage and sexual relationships between people of European descent and non-Europeans, typically indigenous people and people of African descent. Colonial legislatures passed the first anti-miscegenation laws in the British North American colonies of Maryland and Virginia in the second half of the 17th century; assemblies in other British colonies quickly followed suit.
