The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution deals with several aspects of U.S. citizenship and the rights of citizens. Ratified on July 9, 1868, during the post-Civil War era, the 14th, along with the 13th and 15th Amendments, are collectively known as the Reconstruction Amendments. Although the 14th Amendment was intended to protect the rights of formerly enslaved people, it has continued to play a major role in constitutional politics to this day.

The Protohistoric period recorded the stories of developing tribal cultures through oral traditions, written accounts, and cultural artifacts. Pawnee ancestors led the return. Some hunted, and left, others remained and contributed to Ponca, Omaha, and Oto tribes. The Oglala and Brule subgroups of the Teton Dakota were horse nomads. This period saw the first contacts between Europeans and Native Americans. Traders from the East Coast arrived, bringing horses and tools as well as whiskey and conflict.

Explorers and trappers followed the rivers at first, but Nebraska's waters were not good for all boats. Paths blazed by Native Americans became the basis for overland routes, including the Oregon Trail. Settlers loaded prairie schooners and headed west over the sea of grass across the Platte Valley. Some perished due to illness or accident. Some sought free land, some sought California gold. Mormons blazed their own trail to escape persecution, wintering near Omaha.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 created a territory that stretched all the way north from the southern boundary of present-day Nebraska to include all of the remaining lands of the Louisiana Purchase. Over the years, changes were made that left the territory in roughly the same shape and with roughly the same boundaries as Nebraska has today. Its northern and southern borders were drawn along lines based on a system of longitude and latitude developed in the 18th century. Surveyor set markers to physically mark the imaginary lines on the landscape: sections, townships, and acreages were created.
