On my do do list. In the meantime, I will continue to blame Democrats.

On my to do list.

I'll save you some time.

"No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State"

Promoted by Republican Thomas Corwin (Ohio) in the House, and Republican William Seward (New York) in the Senate.

It was passed by a 2/3rds majority in the House (controlled by Republicans) and a 2/3rds majority in the Senate. (Also controlled by Republicans.)

Lincoln urged it be ratified by the states in his first inaugural address in March of 1861.
