    Yeah that’s because we had a whole thing of people claiming that people born enslaved weren’t citizens or eligible to vote

      I’m curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There’s the obvious difference of birthright that’s an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.
