Question: Identify the groups of people who were denied the opportunity to become fully naturalized american citizens in america’s first century as a sovereign country.

During the first century of the United States as an independent nation, several groups of people faced discrimination and exclusion from the rights and privileges of citizenship. The most prominent examples are enslaved African Americans, Native Americans, women, and immigrants. Enslaved African Americans were considered property and had no legal status or protection. Native Americans were seen as savages and enemies, and their lands were taken by force or fraud. Women were denied the right to vote, own property, or pursue education and careers. Immigrants, especially those from non-English speaking countries, were viewed with suspicion and hostility, and faced barriers to naturalization and employment.
