I'm pretty sure I didn't use the word "worship" anywhere in the context of slavery. The Constitution acknowledged it as a legal practice and required all states to participate in protecting the legal practice of slavery.

Of course the Northern states wanted to ignore that constitutional requirement without actually passing an amendment to repeal it. They wanted to pretend it didn't exist or that it meant something different from what it actually meant. Same liberal "living constitution" crap that they still try to pull now.

Enshrinement is a religious term. Something is enshrined when it is elevated to a place of worship.

There was no such protection.
