The ONLY purpose of the 14th amendment was to ensure that black Americans would have the same rights across the former Confederate states as they had in the rest of the nation.
Which was why the 14th was passed in conjunction with the 13th & 15th amendments.
And yet the Courts have consistently ruled differently and applied the 14th to many situations, something most people agree with.
