You really don't realize how totally foolish you look posting such tripe, do you?

Thank God you are just a damn nut case and not representative of the South.
ROFLMAO!
I've noticed when someone cannot logically refute an argument, they resort to adhomenm attacks.

• Article 6. No future amendment of the Constitution shall affect the five preceding articles, nor the third paragraph of the second section of the first article of the Constitution, nor the third paragraph of the second section of the fourth article of said Constitution, and no amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress any power to abolish or interfere with slavery in any of the States by whose laws it is or may be allowed or permitted.

It's a pity you can't overcome your emoting, liberal mindset as well as your your public education indoctrination and get past the 'slavery is eeeevil' issue long enough to realize that the Civil War was the first step to stripping the States of their legitimate authority and to consolidate power in the federal government.
As the rights of the States went, so did the rights of the People, and the federal government, lacking both the legitimate authority as well as the legal ability to free the slaves, merely enslaved us all.

"The amendment [fourteenth] reversed and annulled the original policy of the constitution"
Here's a question for you. Let's see if you can answer it plain and simple...
If the South were to "rise again", would you be for or against slavery?
