Back in the 19th century you couldn’t own property in some locales if you weren’t completely of the white race. That was a fact in Oregon.

My great-grandmother had always referred to herself as white, as did her whole family. They were listed on the census as white. She had been born in Tennessee.

Then her husband, who was from Massachusetts, divorced her in Ohio on the basis of her being colored (part Negro) and not white.

Go back to the 19th century? No.

Yeah, but imagine an America with a small 19th century government and modern ideas about race. That sounds like a great combo to me. That’s where we were headed if the left hadn’t derailed the country in the 20th century.
