The BoR was for white men. It was not unconstitutional until after a civil war and an amendment.

I don't see anything about "white men" in the BoR, but in some of the documents I see phrases like "All men are endowed etc."

What is the amendment written after the Civil War that you refer to? .....

He's referring to the thirteenth. It's pretty explicit: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Prior to the 14th Amendment, slaves were not under federal jurisdiction. They were an issue handled by individual states...and considered property - no rights.
