need help for early Black-White interracial

hi, is there anyone could help me with my research paper about Black-White Interracial.

Actually, My teacher thought this topic is too general. He ask me to forcus on something about Black-White Interracial, and give him an thesis question and answer with three supports about it.

I think my teacher prefer the topic about early age, because he recommended a book about northern free blacks, 1700-1860.

Could you please give me any ideas about it?

Thank you

Greetings!

I confess that I don't know a lot about the many issues which may comprise the topic. However, one aspect of interracial relationships that has always interested me is anti-miscegenation statutes. These were laws which prevented whites from marrying non-white persons. They date back as far as the 1700s--twelve of the thirteen colonies had laws against interracial marriage--and, amazingly, seventeen states still had such laws until they were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967!

If you did decide to go with that topic, your thesis could be something like: "Anti-miscegenation laws, which were often defended as having a Biblical foundation, were used to foster fears that mingling between the races would result in the ultimate destruction of white society."

I hope this helps!
