The Civil War amendments were created to Centralize power in DC so that slavery and discrimination could be outlawed. It’s time to repeal them because they are now used by the left in ways far beyond the intent. They have effectively erased the 9th and 10th admendments with this centalization of power.

This is correct, but it wasn't about slavery or discrimination. The power blocks of the North hated black people too, but they wanted to use them to secure more political power in congress, and *that* is why they did it.

By giving former slaves citizenship and the right to vote, they believed they would cement a power block that would always support their agenda, and in any case, would further punish the South for daring to challenge New York/Washington DC's control of their economic production.

Concern for the well being of black people was not their main reason for doing what they did. Securing power and punishing the South were.

Agreed.
