The complaint is against the characterization made by Beck, if you didn't see the show it was a truly unbelievable moment. He is sloppy with his history. He has to entertain but that was ridiculous. Beck used the word slavery about 20 times. He even said the word slavery was in the title.

IMO The CS Constitution does codify slavery, that doesn't make it ALL about slavery.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN, 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.

How is it that the original version of the 13th Amendment (above) is so often overlooked?
