Aliens could vote!

Here is an except from a chapter entitled "The Making of Americans" from an old textbook:

Persons of foreign birth who have not been naturalized are known as aliens.  There are several millions of aliens residing in our country.  They enjoy almost, although not quite, all the privileges of citizens.  They are entitled to full protection of their lives and property by our government; they may move freely about the country and engage in business; they are entitled to all the privileges of the state courts and to some privileges of the national courts; they have freedom of religious belief.  In some states there are restrictions against the holding of real estate by aliens ; but many states allow it and by the Homestead Act Congress has given millions of acres to them.  In some states aliens may even vote for state and national officers after having declared their intention of becoming citizens.
