I am curious my father was born here (USA) to a US citizen parents, my mother was born here to a US citizens parents. I was born here. What statute make me a US citizen?

The 14th Amendment.

Prior to that, if your parents were slaves prior to 1865 or indians (prior to 1924) you were not a citizen.

None, other than the Constitution makes you a US Citizen.

You are also a "natural born Citizen" but not because of where you were born but rather because of where both your parents were born.
