The ratification of the 14th Amendment is important in that it provided citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, including former enslaved people, and promised all citizens "equal protection of the laws."
<h3>What other significance did the 14th Amendment have?</h3>
It was one of three amendments approved during the Reconstruction period to abolish slavery and create civil and legal rights for African Americans, and it would serve as the foundation for many historic Supreme Court judgments over the years.
Later sections of the 14th Amendment authorized the federal government to punish states that violated or abridged their citizens' right to vote by reducing the states' representation in Congress proportionally, and mandated that anyone who "engaged in insurrection" against the United States could not hold civil, military, or elected office (without the approval of two-thirds of the states).

Explanation:
Although the United States dominated Lake Erie for the rest of the war, the British made a comeback in the upper lakes in 1814. Four U.S. schooners Little Belt, Chippewa (apprehended at Put-in-Bay), Ariel, and Trippe were sent by Elliot to Buffalo, but were trapped there during the winter. When a British land attack on Buffalo occurred in December 1813, all four ships caught fire. In 1814, Captain Arthur Sinclair, who replaced Perry, took command of the Lake Erie fleet and drove it to Lake Huron to recover Michilimackinac. The joint military and naval force had to tow Niagara and Lawrence through the shallow waters of the Saint Clair River to get them to Lake Huron. The invasion was rejected by a British force on the island of Mackinac, and the schooners Scorpion and Tigress were lost in Georgian Bay. After losing almost all the other ships in a storm, the force returned to Detroit. The schooners were incorporated into the Royal Navy as Confiance and Surprise. When Sinclair returned to Lake Erie, he discovered that two schooners, Somers and Ohio, had also been apprehended off Fort Erie. They became Huron and Sauk.

Generally, they would see Christianity as a foreign religion, which could undermine whatever religion is already in place (e.g. Hinduism or Islam). It's like diluting the religious 'purity' of their culture, in a way. As religion is generally an important part of a culture, this Christianity may in turn may 'damage' the culture, in the eyes of the people who live there.
