Interesting editorial on the meaning of naturalized citizenship.

Apparently a certain Mr. Cass published his opinion that the USA is obliged to treat naturalized citizens similar to the way fugitive slaves were then treated -- to return them to their "masters" when such people demanded it.
This editorial straightforwardly points out the flaws in such reasoning and it's good they did because among such new immigrants were some of my ancestors, fresh off the boat, having escaped conscription in one of Europe's wars, they certainly did not wish to return and would soon enough be asked to serve the Union Army whose language they didn't yet speak.

Of course, by that time, so far as we know there would be no more discussion of returning my fugitive ancestors to their previous "masters", either by this Mr. Cass or anyone else.

Hi Teach.

Thanks for the great classes. WWII was absolutely a must read. Especially for Millennials and Gen X.

Are you going to do the War of Northern aggression, 1860-1865?

To include the Carpet baggers?
