Abstract
“Appalled and astounded” at the consequences that [immigration to Boston] had already produced, [Lemuel] Shattuck concluded [in 1850] that it was the immigrants — the poor and unwanted from England and Ireland — who were primarily responsible for bringing disease and impoverishment to an otherwise predominantly healthy and productive native stock: “Our own native inhabitants, who mingle with these recipients of their bounty, often themselves become contaminated with diseases, and sicken and die; and the physical and moral power of living is depreciated, and the healthy social and moral character we once enjoyed is liable to be forever lost.”Barbara . . .
