[Non-Sequitur]

The very first congress denied citizenship status to blacks, as did every other congress until the 14 Amendment was ratified.

In what way?

What was so galling to many, is NOT that blacks were deemed property (see preceding sentence), it was that the ruling would have allowed the emigration of blacks into the west.

Including the south?

[4CJ]

In what way? [denied citizenship status to blacks]

The Citizenship Acts each specifically limited US citizenship to whites.

Including the south? [what was so galling to many]

Why would the south be offended?
