All the jokes about the Third Amendment aside, it's a pretty simple narrative: That amendment was passed at a time when people remembered living under direct occupation in their own neighborhoods from "their own government" It's a very common issue under those circumstances

To prosecute the Civil War at all, Lincoln's successful generals had to accept that the Confederacy was, in fact, correct when they said they had seceded, and that the South was therefore a foreign country filled with enemy combatants to be treated as such

It was only afterwards that everyone went along with Lincoln's retcon that secession, effectively, never actually happened (because it was legally and constitutionally invalid) and all of the states had still been under the US government and US Constitution the whole time
