Q. Why weren't the BoR applied to the states before 1865?
A. It didn't need to be. The states treated their WHITE citizens according to the constitution while BLACKS had no rights.

Q. WHY was the 14th amendment created?
A. Because a racist majority supreme court refused to accept that BLACKS had rights according to the US constitution via the 13th Amendment, THEREFORE, their decision in Cruikshank eliminated federal intervention in the way states treated their newly freedmen by saying that the constitution only applied to the federal government.

Answer this....WHY did it take 80 years to figure out that the US BoR didn't apply to the states?
