    Citizenship, is this the reason they had to pass the 14th Amendment?

    I came across Attorney General Bates opinion on citizenship you all may find very enlightening:

    Ok, as linked above, I came across this opinion from Attorney General Bates where he is asked about a "colored" man in command of a ship if he was a citizen of the United States, previously Attorney General Wirt had the opinion that colored people could not be citizens of the United States.

    These are from Bates.
