The 14th Amendment was the legal capstone of the Civil War. The 13th Amendment did its job freeing the slaves, but without the 14th Amendment, de facto slavery (Jim Crow Segregation) would have remained longer than the 80 years it lasted.
The 14th Amendment is the Liberty & Equality Amendment. While the 13th Amendment freed the slaves, the 14th defined the extent of their freedoms; but not only that of the 5 million or so freed slaves, but also all Americans.
Take for example, the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. Many Americans don't realize those Amendments did not apply to the States. It is only through the 14th Amendment's incorporation that those Amendments were applied to the states.
The 14th Amendment made America what it is today, it is the legal foundation of the fruits of the Civil war. But the Unholy Six of the Robert's SCOTUS has repeatedly attacked the 14th Amendment. It eviscerated the insurrection prohibition clause which would have prevented the Autocrat for being on our ballots after he sent a mob to our Capitol to overturn our free elections on Jan 6, 2021. The Unholy Six of this Robert's SCOTUS then proceeded to declare President had "Official Acts Immunity" for criminal acts in the White House, thus, opening the door to Autocracy! They prevented the 14th Amendment for doing the liberating and freedom protecting work it was designed to do after the Civil War.
If elected to Congress, I will submit the following bracket language below to the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment, as a proposed restoration of that Amendment to the Constitution to restore the Insurrection Clause to its full power and intent.
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. [Each state shall be the sole arbiter of whether a Candidate to any Federal Office an insurrectionist is and shall have the power to remove an adjudicated Inserections from its ballot] (Strike: But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.)
