  1. It was long before there was any such thing as the Internet or even personal computers, but during the Vietnam war there was also plenty of immigration to Canada.

    ...as well as Thailand during this period. The number of American military personnel that deserted and renounced their citizenship was outstandingly high.

  2. Even if you renounce your citizenship, as far as IRS is concerned there is no such thing as renouncing your citizenship. In other words, if you have assets, pension, bank accounts, Social Security, or whatever in the USA, if you renounce your citizenship IRS can seize anything they can get their hands on if you do not continue paying income tax. If you have no assets, but return to the USA without having filed or paid income tax, you can be arrested on income tax evasion charges.

    If you are among those who do renounce your USA citizenship, you better check with an attorney first so that you know where you stand legally.

    Over and above the statements above - historically, the U.S. takes a grim look towards citizens that desire to have dual citizenship. Completely difficult for the average American citizen....but not impossible, because it's been done in certain circumstances.
