Apparently there is some debate about whether the original XIII amendment was passed by Virgina in 1811/1812.

Huh?  The 13th amendment says nothing about lawyers and serving in government.

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
