Scottish immigrant Robert Dale Owen played an important role in the creation of the Freedmen's Bureau and he was helped lay the intellectual framework for the 14th Amendment granting citizenship to anyone born in the United States, including those born into slavery. This week we look at immigrants and the coming of the 14th Amendment.
