Birthright Citizenship Was Won by Freed Slaves - The Atlantic

'Birthright citizenship just might be, former slaves believed, the safeguard they needed. '

'Most notorious among such denials of black citizenship was the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1857 decision in Scott v. '

' Taney’s decision was another round in a struggle that would take them to the Civil War and beyond. '
