Interracial marriage was effectively legalized in New Hampshire in 1878 when the state's Supreme Court ruled that a law prohibiting marriage between individuals of different races was unconstitutional. This decision came during a period of increasing recognition of civil rights, although societal acceptance varied widely. By the mid-20th century, interracial marriage was more broadly accepted, especially following the landmark Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia in 1967, which invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage across the United States.
In the 19th century, several states in the United States had laws prohibiting interracial marriage. By the late 1800s, around 30 states enacted such laws, primarily targeting marriages between white individuals and people of African or Native American descent. These laws reflected the racial segregation and discriminatory attitudes prevalent during that time. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that these prohibitions were declared unconstitutional.
The nineteenth century was from 1800 - 1899.
No. The topic was not one that was discussed in nineteenth century America.
Interracial marriage became legal in Idaho in 1963 when the state repealed its anti-miscegenation laws. Prior to that, such marriages were prohibited under laws that dated back to the 19th century. The repeal was part of a broader movement across the United States during the civil rights era to eliminate discriminatory laws. The landmark Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia in 1967 further solidified the legality of interracial marriage nationwide.

Yes, there were instances of interracial marriage in Halifax in 1837, although such unions were relatively rare due to social and legal restrictions of the time. In Nova Scotia, the population included both Black and Indigenous communities, and some individuals from these groups entered into interracial marriages. These unions often faced significant social stigma and legal challenges, reflecting the broader context of racial attitudes in 19th-century Canada.
