Deletion of History of citizenship in the United States

Comment: Generally agree it should probably be deleted. I created this article perhaps a year and a half ago; the original article has been whittled down to incomprehensibility (now it ''begins'' with the 20th century?) for concerns about  and  for which there may be some justifiable claims. It may be the kind of subject that Wikipedia can't handle? My public domain Google knol version (in my view) is excellent and getting better. It explores how citizenship changed from the 1700s to today -- from active participation in local government, attending town meetings, shuffling local government jobs, to today where few Americans participate in politics, only half vote for president every four years, few know the names of their congresspersons, making citizenship into a legal marker of membership, although the citizenship franchise expanded. So, perhaps deletion seems sensible. Regardless, people interested in American politics (most Americans aren't) can read my knol, if interested
