Try this one for some very sobering history

For further research: the natural born citizenship was created in order to give these people , former slaves, full citizenship in the U.S. It was not for the purpose of giving immigrants a chance to come to the US and have children to make them citizens and collect welfare or other government benefits.

Read what happened to these Americans led to a false freedom.

It is extremely important to know the contributions of these legitimate American people, who were also very loyal to America and to the people that helped them.

To the reporter in Chennai:  I am glad you are reading through all these links and getting the history from the people who lived in that era.
