Indian Citizenship Act of 1924
2025-06-02 00:00 - 23:59
15th Amendment (1870) granted citizenship to all, regardless of race. That said, tribes didn’t have citizenship until the Snyder Act of 1924 admitted communities born in the U.S. to full U.S. citizenship. Still, many didn’t participate in elections because the Constitution left it to the states to decide who has the right to vote. Native Americans suffered as African Americans with literacy tests, poll taxes, etc.

Ratification 14th Amendment, Due Process
2025-07-09 00:00 - 23:59
The US Constitution was intended to restrict the federal government, not state governments. The 14th Amendment restricts states from restricting how the Bill of Rights applies to all people.

Congress passed a civil rights act and even though President Andrew Jackson vetoed that bill, Congress overrode the veto. Read more>>>
The 13th Amendment ended slavery but was not explicit about rights of citizenship. Dred Scott was a slave whose owners moved from Missouri, a slave-holding state, to Illinois, a state that wasn’t. In 1857 SCOTUS ruled on the case Dred Scott v. Sandford. The Civil War started partly in response to this decision
