Some states never had restrictions on interracial marriage. For example, New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire never had laws prohibiting interracial marriage. However, many states did have such laws. In 1967 the United States Supreme Court held that laws prohibiting interracial marriage were unconstitutional in the landmark case of Loving v. Virginia. After that case was decided, all states had to permit interracial marriage.

Well first biracial marriage was probably John Rolfe and Pocahontas.


First Black-White is a bit harder to find out.


I would recommend the book by Peter Wallenstein's ';Tell the Court I Love My Wife : Race, Marriage, and Law--An American History';(ISBN: 1403964084)


It chronicles interracial marriage from early 1600's.
I think muffy is right.
