When Massachusetts declared slavery illegal, they also extended their residency laws to apply special regulation to non-slave people of colour trying to settle in the state - any people of colour, whether former slaves or travellers from abroad. But Moroccans had a free pass, because Morocco was the first Muslim state to recognise American independence.
These days, "Moorish Sovereign Citizens" use the early friendship between Morocco and the U.S. as the basis of their cray cray beliefs.
