I believe that all but one state retified this "Lost 13th Amendment" before the war of 1812. I believe Virginia was the last state to ratify the Amendment about 1819. I have a certified copy from the state of Colorado of the original 13th Amenment and it shows the present 13th Amendment as #14 Amendment. If this Amendment had not mysteriously disappeared, all attorneys who became members of the American Bar Association would lose their citizenship and could not hold any office for trust or profit in the united state of America because the American Bar Assoc. is a subsidiary of the British Bar Assoc. and when an Attorney joins the Bar, he takes on the foreign tile of nobilty, "Esquire". The Amendment disppeared during "Re-constuction" about 1868 and the American Bar was formed about 1878.

Thank you for researching this missing 13th Amendment.  This is a potential game changer.  There are several other items of interest that need to be researched which occurred during times of national emergency such as the 14th Amendment, did this Amendment actually give the freed slaves citizenship or merely transfer them as chattel property to the national government thereby, placing US citizens within the boundaries of each State and lessening the power of the individual States as a balance of power against federal intrusion?   Succeeding Amendments, was the Federal Reserve Act a violation of Article I, Section 10?   The War Powers Act - can Congress declare war when there is no clear threat of invasion by enemy forces or was this a violation of their oaths of office?  Once again, thank you for researching this.  America would be much better off if we were to realize that there are many, many opinions, theories, and suppositions but still only one truth and if we desire to restore Liberty, that truth is what we must seek.
