Blacks were not provided birthright citizenship until the Civil Rights Act of 1866

Not true, slaves were not afforded citizenship in “pro-slavery” states until then. However, blacks were always considered citizens in abolitionist states which were mainly in the north. Blacks even sat as judges & elected community leaders in some states. The A1 of the Constitution says nothing of race, it only refers to free persons in regards to representation. You are mistaking congressional acts on immigration & naturalization that disallowed for the immigration of blacks. This was done in order to thwart the slave trade, not to denigrate black people.

Is this a type of citizen?
For example, any individual who is issued a certificate of loss of citizenship by the State Department pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1501 (2000), (10) or who is denied a right or privilege of a United States citizen by a government agency (such as a United States passport, see, e.g., Nishikawa, 356 U.S. at 131) on the ground that he is not a citizen of the United States, may file a declaratory judgment action in federal court under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 for a declaration that he is in fact a national of the United States. 8 U.S.C. § 1503(a) (2000). See, e.g., Terrazas, 444 U.S. at 256 (§ 1503 suit filed following issuance of certificate of loss of nationality).

Natural born citizen, citizen and "national" wherein national=14th Amendment citizen? Don't know yet.
Still all USC 8 Aliens and Nationality.

"You are mistaking congressional acts on immigration & naturalization that disallowed for the immigration of blacks."

Incorrect. Read the Civil Rights Act of 1866:

"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States"

Civil Rights Act of 1866
