Given the surge in felony disenfranchisement laws during the Civil War and after the adoption of the 14th Amendment makes it pretty damn clear that it was to keep black people from voting. And looking at the US map of the 2023 felony disenfranchisement laws, it is pretty damn clear that not much has changed.
Like US states were originally against state police, because their local sheriff and local “court systems” did just fine. Can you guess why state police and also inter-state police collaboration became a thing?
If you said to catch freemen and return them to slavery for jaywalking or looking at a white woman the wrong way, you’d sadly be correct.
