| Description |
During the first century of American colonization immigrants were welcomed as long as they were Protestants save for Rhode Island where religious toleration was practiced. Massachusetts, dominated by Puritans, has harsh penalties against Catholics and Quakers, while Virginia had more liberal policies. The British Plantation Act of 1740 became an invitation to foreign immigrants to settle in America.
