This is all most interesting.

I remember years ago there being discussion of a "13th Amendment" that was different from what we have today. Now, it seems there has been a great deal more research done, and a lot more facts uncovered.

What I'd like to learn more about now is the mechanisms that were used to surpress the "original" 13th Amendment. If the printed copies all across the Republic started to have the 13th dropped from publication at various times after the civil war, then one would think there should be extant contemporaneous newspaper articles, etc., discussing the "error" or whatnot. Surely the researchers (especially those interested in proving the absence of ratification) should be interested in documenting the unfolding of the recognition of absence of ratification.

What exists in this regard?
