@SpitzleyLuke if one thing is considered the case in some states, and not considered the case in others, and that thing is a national category, then that thing is by definition “unsettled” or “an open question” — PolitiTweet.org

@SpitzleyLuke @CoreyRYung so. a very small minority of black americans experienced a highly provisional and restrictive form of “citizenship” — essentially enough to *maybe* ensure they could not be kidnapped into slavery — and this therefore proves that “black citizenship was an open question” is false? — PolitiTweet.org
