NYB, help!

[edit]

"Woods's version of Brown's narrative assumed that the Fourteenth Amendment had incorporated the Bill of Rights and accepted the Enforcement Act approved by Congress approved [sic] on May 30, 1870, as applicable in Eutaw. The U.S. Commissioner in Demopolis, James Gillette, issued warrants for the arrests of the men whom Brown accused and summonses for the witnesses he named." This "incorporation" of the Bill of Rights seems to have been a big deal, esp. for Joseph P. Bradley. Drmies (talk) 04:45, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll work on this some, but in the meantime, see incorporation of the Bill of Rights for an explanation of what that's about. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 16:13, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
