Part of the reason the 13th amendment was able to be passed was because the Confederate States were deemed in rebellion and thus had no voice in the matter, so it was able to be swiftly passed with ease. It's believed slavery would be abolished _eventually_ as there was abolitionists down south as well, however, because the southern economy relied on it, it was not something that would have happened quickly, but that's a topic for another time. Some of the bigger states, particularly California and Texas, love enjoying the thought experiment of succession (which was made illegal after the civil war). With how crazy things have gotten, if there was ever another such movement, the US government and states loyal to it could do the same thing again. The 22nd amendment was since there was some concern FDR was skirting on dictatorial powers at the time, which in US culture, a dictator is just automatically assumed to be a negative thing (which to be fair, they don't have the greatest track record, but it's not "automatically" negative). Just look how often the US has used "run by a dictator" as an excuse to garner war support for an invasion, or discredit a rival state, despite quietly working with dictators regularly when it's pragmatic to, and also why people fear-monger that "President I dislike is going to become dictator!"
