Explain the events leading up to the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, and how effective this Amendment was
What will be an ideal response?
President Lincoln was elected on a promise to abolish slavery in the territories. Southern states feared, among other things, that Lincoln would abolish slavery in the states. Several states resolved to withdraw from the Union, thus beginning the Civil War. In 1862, Lincoln threatened to abolish slavery in the rebelling states if they did not return to the Union. They didn't, and Lincoln did, issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 . The Proclamation had little effect. In 1864, an amendment abolishing slavery was proposed, and in 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified. The Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, was not completely effective, as many southern states continued discrimination by passing "Black Codes," necessitating the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment in an attempt to prevent states from infringing upon the rights of the newly freed slaves.
