Not sure what you mean by this, could you elaborate? The 14th amendment was passed after the civil war-- mostly in reaction to the way the southern governments were treating the newly freed slaves. Particularly abhorrent to the congress debating passing the 14th amendment were the gun laws which the southern states had passed disarming blacks and making the vulnerable to abuse by both government and the KKK.
Anyway, the intention was to ensure the newly freed slaves enjoyed all the rights and privileges of being a US citizen. However, the amendment was almost immediately eviscerated by the Cruikshank and Slaughterhouse rulings. These rulings held that the Bill of Rights were only limitations on the federal government, not the state. Thus the doctrine of ‘incorporation’ of the amendments of the states evolved. This meant cases had to be brought before SCOTUS involving the rights in the amendments (1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc.) with the court ruling whether that right was in fact a limitation on state government and thus incorporated against the state governments as well as federal. The big deal about the McDonald case in Illinois- SCOTUS finally had a case questioning whether 2A was a limitation on state governments, and the court ruled it is.
