Reconstruction: 14th Amendment – Overview & Sections 2–4
Manage episode 283895507 series 2323135
We begin our review of the 14th Amendment with the lesser-known middle clauses. Northern demographics, racism, and sexism block universal voting rights, leading to indirect support of male suffrage that is too complicated to work. Section 3 precludes officeholding by ex-Confederates but ends up interfering with the prosecution of Jefferson Davis. Section 4 upholds Union and cancels Confederate debts, and maybe means we can have a giant platinum coin.
Participants: Harry Sandick, Jon Hatch, Andrew Willinger
