Native born Americans

The term native born Americans refers to those persons who were born in the United States, as opposed to Foreign born Americans who were born outside the US. In the US a person receives citizenship by simply being born in the US. Thus all native born Americans who have not given up or lost their citizenship for any reason are US citizens. Native born Americans make the majority of European and African Americans. Among Hispanics, native born were in the minority. All members of Native American tribes were also counted as native born Americans.
