that makes no sense
not true...
Before the 14th ammendment naturalization and citizenship were handled under statute, very dangerous stuff...that would give and take what was given...thus the need to make it part of the US constitution...but that doesnt mean people werent US citizens.
Couldn't POSSIBLY be true because US citizenship didnt even exist until the 14th.
Before that we had state citizenship, which usually noticed citizenship by inheritance.
Discussed in several threads already, citizenship by where you are born is based on serfdom, and makes you a subject. Under english law as found in the Magna Carta, freemen inherited their rights.
This is droll ignorance to keep repeating this.
