                                                   AMENDMENT XIII   

Amendment 13 was passed by congress on January 31, 1865 and  was ratified in December 6, 1865 after the ending of the civil war.  Amendment 13 states that no slavery shall be allowed except as a punishment for any crime. We all should appreciate Abraham Lincoln because he created the Emancipation Proclamoration, which also says slavery is not allowed in the United States. Also, United States needed that amendment because it will put an end to slavery. So now no one could be force anyone, with physical force or threatening legal action to work against their will. This amendment was really important for Abraham Lincoln because he really wanted slavery to end it really helped the African American to have freedom. Now African American is not a property of people in the United States. Also everyone is free and can do whatever they want.

So slavery started when African American came to America and was forced by the Non African American to work them. It was allowed, but of course the slaves didn’t like to work they wanted to be free as others were. Lots of people from the North didn’t allowed slaves but Southern people kept slaves because north and south were very different kind places. For example, north had factories and stores were everywhere but south was a very quiet place and stores were far away and there were farms that needed to be cared by the slaves. Lots of different kind of people took stand for slavery like the northern. One was Abraham Lincoln.
