AMENDMENT XIII
Passed by Congress January 31, 1865. Ratified December 6, 1865.
Note: A portion of Article IV, section 2, of the Constitution was superseded by the 13th amendment.
Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
What the purpose of this amendment is that no punishment will happen to you unless you are responsible for a crime. This means that the only the time that you will be punish is if you are a criminal and you will not be hurt if you’re a slave or an involuntary in the United States because you will be violating the rules of this amendment.
Big idea:
- Slavery punishment
- Crimes
- Unreasonable punishments
Task
Here is a variety of websites that you can visit so that you can learn new things about the big ideas I created in the last page.

4 .This amendment is helping negros keep their jobs and not quit out of force and terror.
5. The US supported slavery at the justification of the Attorney General.
3.slavery punishment
- The Emancipation Proclamation didn’t stop slavery everywhere but the 13th amendment did.

2.The slaves in American have almost no rights and those who are evident to people living in ghettos are now titled “slave.
”3. http://www.newsnfo.co.uk/pages/history%20of%20slavery.htm
I never knew that people treated slaves differently in certain countries some even protected the slaves but others kept punishing them like in a lot of other countries so some countries had slavery punishment. So not all of the countries would decide to punish slaves but others would want to.
4. http://www.alef.net/ALEFIdeas/ALEFIdeas.Asp?Idea=Slavery
When slaves are done with all their pain and punishment there forgotten like if people never knew who he/she was and the Jews made these punishments for them so that it might destroy their race. This supports my big idea because the Jews don’t need to destroy races just because their slaves.
5.http://usslave.blogspot.com/2012/02/slave-whipping-as-business.html
This is telling me is that all that it took for a slave to get punished is that someone had to give their master a note for them to get whipped and that is a perfect example of extremely cruel slavery punishment.

Comments:
1. You are 100% correct the 13th amendment did promise to stop slavery in the U.S.
2. You are correct that slavery did inspired the creation of the 13th amendment because they were treated unfairly.
3.That is the right answer and this shows me that you were paying attention to the video because the video clearly states that it was Abraham Lincoln that stop all of these crimes.
