in california as elsewhere during the antebellum period, african-americans and native americans cannot testify against white people. the california supreme court agrees with hall and says yes, chinese immigrants are also not white, and therefore they too cannot testify against a white person. you see these types of roles all through the american south. here in virginia, for example, free slaves could not testify against a white person even if they committed murder. activating --n active 1845 -- natalie? student: [indiscernible] because there was at least one white person, that charges would stand, but the testimony from the chinese people would not. 1840 five, it is interesting the california tried to do this. on monday we talked about the passenger loss the supreme court had already ruled on that states could not regulate and manage immigration. immigration is a federal issue, not a state one. in 1855, california decided to pass a tax that said that see captains pay $50 per chinese immigrant a brought in to the united states. the california school law. some jurisdictions were already

california's a little different. they do have relationships with the native women, but not so good. so it seemed to be something with the dangerousness of california, the group, the mob mentality, but these men were not marrying the indian women. they were actually attacking them. so there was a lot of sexual violence out in california, to the extent that within a generation the female -- the indian female population in cold front was decimated. if you look at the census figures between 1850 and 1870, indian men vastly outnumber indian women. it's a very, very dangerous time to be an indian woman. so the men were having some sort of relationship with these women, but they weren't looking to them as marriage material and it certainly wasn't curbing their violent instincts. is different than what you get in a lot of places, intermarriage with native women was common in the west, usually amongst trappers. so when it was smaller groups that went west and they often had relationships with the transcribed because they helped them with their trapping and collecting of furs, then you had a l
