About this listen

 Journey back to post-Civil War America to understand how the 14th Amendment revolutionized American citizenship. Discover how the Dred Scott decision denied citizenship to African Americans, leading to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and ultimately the 14th Amendment. Learn about the intentions of Reconstruction-era lawmakers, the complex debates over the "subject to jurisdiction" clause, and how the landmark Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court case in 1898 established the broad interpretation of birthright citizenship that remains in effect today, despite ongoing political and legal challenges.
