Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America - Studies in Legal History
Jones, Martha S. (The Johns Hopkins University)
Birthright Citizens examines how black Americans transformed the terms of belonging for all Americans before the Civil War. They battled against black laws and threats of exile, arguing that citizenship was rooted in birth, not race. The Fourteenth Amendment affirmed this principle, one that still today determines who is a citizen.
