Final answer:
The statements about citizenship are indeed correct. Native Americans gained U.S. citizenship in 1924, only free Whites could be naturalized citizens per the 1790 law, and African descent persons were recognized as citizens with the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regarding the statements about citizenship:
- It is correct that Native Americans were not officially considered U.S. citizens until 1924. This changed with the Indian Citizenship Act, also known as the Snyder Act, which granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States. However, voting rights were still denied by many states until later years.
- The statement that a 1790 law stated that only free Whites could become naturalized U.S. citizens is accurate. This was established by the Naturalization Act of 1790 and remained law until subsequent modifications.
- Finally, the claim that most persons of African descent were not deemed U.S. citizens until 1868 refers to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former slaves.
