The 14th amendment in the US and the 1864 election happened in war time.

On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely were civilian areas to be hit by artillery shells and rockets during the civil war?

Hint: the maximum range of a cannon at that time was barely a mile.

Twelve states were occupied by the confederacy and simply excluded from the US elections and the amendment process.

Sounds like an election during war time is a pretty fucking bad idea.
