It didn't exist before. It didn't give JUST freed slaves citizenry. It gave that to everyone. A great coup by the Federalist. At that time, people didn't consider themselves "American" or at least, firstly "American". Their geo-pokitical identity was to their State. Wrestling this identity away into a federal perspective was the great coup of the 14th A. "Subject to the jurisdiction..." 1/2
