Welcome to the 19th century

And here I thought Idaho was a backwards state:

Ohio Senate decides 14th Amendment OK after all
The Senate voted unanimously to pass the amendment, 135 years after most of the country did, and sent the resolution to the House.

The legislature passed the amendment Jan. 11, 1867, but a year later rescinded ratification as "contrary to the best interests of the white race."
