History for the 28th of March

March 28 in American history is marked by a major environmental disaster, a landmark Supreme Court ruling on citizenship, and the end of US military involvement in Vietnam.

Key Historical Milestones

Three Mile Island Nuclear Accident (1979): The most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history occurred near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A partial meltdown of the Unit 2 reactor led to the release of radioactive gases into the atmosphere.

Supreme Court Ruling on Birthright Citizenship (1898): In United States v. Wong Kim Ark, the Supreme Court ruled 6-2 that a child born in the U.S. to Chinese immigrants was a U.S. citizen. This established a critical precedent for birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

End of US Involvement in Vietnam (1973): The last American combat troops evacuated Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), marking the end of direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War.

Censure of Andrew Jackson (1834): The U.S. Senate voted to censure President Andrew Jackson for removing federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. He is the only U.S. president to have been censured by the Senate.

Battle of Glorieta Pass (1862): During the Civil War, Union forces stopped a Confederate invasion of the New Mexico Territory in a three-day battle that concluded on this date.
