10. This perspective was a factor for politicians in Southern States I'm sure.

Politicians everywhere make deals. Clearly the 10 articles in the Bill of Rights were ratified by the required three quarters (11 of 14) of the states. Virginia was the eleventh. What began as Article Five in 1789 was ratified by Northern states. I don't really know the history but I notice that Georgia was not among the first eleven states to ratify.

I'm sure the legislators in every state had their own reasons and state's interests in mind for doing as they did. Less than half of those first eleven states were in the South.
