We've already played that argument don. Good to see you didn't bother to read the book (I doubt you even clicked on the link). I would suggest you do a little research into the author of that board. To say his politics are questionable is being kind.

FYI, at least three of the statements you have provided were stated by men whose speeches to the citizens of their respective states were contrary to their views in Congress. But again, don't let facts get in your way. I would suggest you look to the primary sources of the day (i.e. newspapers and speeches within the states). The framers of the 14th Amendment never intended for the Amendment to apply to the northern states, therefore they accepted the 14th would not incorporate the Bill of Rights nationwide
