Amendment 13

[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.
[2.] Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

This amendment ended slavery.
This photo is a photo with words that President Lincoln offered when he was speaking about ending slavery and why this was an idea that needed support.
