Despite the relatively plain language of that section of 14A, a glance through history shows that a lot of ex-Confederates - including many of those “oath-taking” officials who were the presumed target of the “disability” provision - went on, after the war, to hold US/State offices again, so one presumes that the enforcement of Section 3 was likely highly selective, or had some sort of loophole, or (most-probably) conscientiously ignored in the name of national comity (and white supremacy, of course).
