Indeed, there's not a hint of stripping *Confederates* of their US citizenship.
If the model of citizenship being built in wasn't jus soli but rather this pseudo-contractual allegiance stuff, they might very well have addressed that elephant in the room And yet.

It's weird to think that the Reconstruction Framers *created* corruption of the blood penalties for children of an unimagined future category of visa-overstayers, but not for those of rebels.

Too bad The Fascists figured this out before the small d democrats
They make a complete hash of what "allegiance" meant (not a voluntary pledge) in the sources they misquote. But it's all irrelevant anyway because the 14th doesn't say allegiance! It says jurisdiction. They're off spinning in circles misconstruing a word that's not even in the text.
