The 13 amendment added to the constitution was the abolishing of slavery in America. The amendment stated “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude...shall exist within the United States, nor any place subject to their jurisdiction." The United States House of Representatives passed this amendment. The amendment was first brought to the congress in 1864; it passed in the U.S. Senate but did not the House. The states ratified the amendment in December 1865. To conclude I would like to say I enjoyed reading this blog. I always find encouragement to hear about one’s uprising. African Americans are one of the strongest ethnic groups and it feels amazing when you see them overcoming odds little by little.

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially outlaws slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House on January 31, 1865, and adopted on December 6, 1865. On December 18, Secretary of State William H. Seward proclaimed it to have been adopted. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted after the American Civil War. President Lincoln and other Republicans were concerned that the Emancipation Proclamation, which in 1863 declared the freedom of slaves in ten Confederate states then in rebellion, would be seen as a temporary war measure, since it was solely based on Lincoln's war powers. The Proclamation did not free any slaves in the border states nor itself make slavery illegal.

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery, and with limited exceptions, such as those convicted of a crime, prohibits involuntary servitude. The United State of America House of Representatives passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The amendment was first brought to congress in 1864. After the amendment passed 119 to 56 votes, many Democrats abstained, but the Thirteenth Amendment was sent to the states for ratification, and was ratify on December 1865.

The abolishment of slavery in America states the 13th Amendment. The United States House of Representatives passed this amendment, reading "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude...shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." In 1864, the strong amendment was first brought to Congress but the House of Democrats did not agree to pass it. Lincoln wanted that the amendment to receive bipartisan support. Many Democrats opposed but the 13th amendment was sent to the states to be ratiffied in December 1865. This shaped our entire history to the farthest extent.

In the year of 1865 on this year day, the House of Representatives passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. The amendment was passed to abolish slavery in the United States. The amendment stated that, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude… shall exist in the United States, nor any place subject to their jurisdiction.” The states ratified the amendment in December 1865. But it was the push of Abraham Lincoln that made this happen. A year before the U.S. tried to pass the amendment but, it was denied. It was denied mostly by Democrats, who were mostly the southern states, which were slave states at the time. But when Lincoln was brought back to the White House for his second term he was able to get help from more Republicans in the House. Having more Republicans helped the cause and helped the amendment get passed.

The amendment read "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude... shall exist within the United Stated, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This amendment abolished slavery in America. The amendment passed in the U.S. Senate but died in the House of Democrats. THanks to Abraham Lincoln's strive for the amendment to pass, the amendment was headed for passage when the new Congress convened in March 1865. The amendment passed seven votes above the necessary two-thirds majority which was good. Although several Democrats were against it, the 13th Amendment was ratified in December of 1865.
On January 31,1865 the 13 Amendment was passed, which abolished slavery, by the Senate and the House the second time. Lincoln first tried to pass this Amendment in 1864 the U.S. Senate passed it but the House of Democrats rallied in the name of states rights. When he came back in the White House he tried again and it got passed because there was more Republicans.

The 13th amendment made slavery unconstitutional, the amendment said “Either slavery nor involuntary servitude… shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction”. To abolish slavery in America this amendment was passed by the U.S House of Representatives and was brought to congress in 1864.

The process was so long because the House of Democrats did not agree to pass this amendment due to the fact that they believed it would effect the economy.

The 13th amendment made a huge impact on the USA. If it wasn't for the passage of this amendment, there would still be slavery. this all started with Lincoln, a slave owner himself, being against slavery completely. This was said to be the main reason why the civil war was fought, Lincoln's taking of office. I think it is good that the amendment was passed because we are now a true FREE country.

The 13th Amendment to the constitution was the abolishing of slavery in the United States as passed by the House of Representatives in a 119 to 56 vote, just 7 votes of the minimum two thirds rule. The Amendment first went to the Government in 1864 but was shut down pretty quickly, then the coming year Lincoln was re elected with a vast majority of all houses being Republicans therefore bringing hope back to the dying bill. Finally in December 1865 all states signed the bill and it was amended to the Constitution therefore liberating America of the terrible tyranny that is the act of own slaves and slavery as a whole.

On 23rd September, 1862 Abraham Lincoln issued his proclamation. The statement said that all slaves would be declared free in those states still in rebellion against the United States on 1st January, 1863. It did not apply to those slave states such as Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and parts of Virginia and Louisiana, that were already occupied by Northern troops. It was not until December 1865, when the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution had been passed by the House of Representatives, which stated that slavery was finally abolished everywhere in the United States.
ReplyDeleteIn 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declaring all slaves within in any state would be free.

I think Romney won the Florida primary on Tuesday because he is a good presidential candidate. He’s my favorite for the Republican Party because if you look at his family and how he’s maintained his success with them, it shows his commitment. That’s what the people want; a guy who’s committed to his family and will be committed to helping his country. He cares about jobs and education and wants to make that a main focus if he wins the elections. He reaches out to states in crisis and the people love that as well. He’s just an all-around people person.

The 13th amendment was one of the most influential amendments to have ever been passed in our country. The passing of this amendment meant an ending to slavery and with that, an ending to an entire way of life. This amendment was proposed by Abraham Lincoln himself to the 38th congress. Lincoln was strongly against slavery and spoke his opinions freely. The Southern States that seceded from the union were forced to free their slaves and pass the amendment as part of their being allowed back into the union. The south was then forced to find a new means of supporting themselves and working their cash crops.

The 13th ammendment of the American Constitution was a big one in that it abolished slavery in both America and other countries in its jurisdiction. This was presented before Congress in 1865, but was shot down (due to a large bias of Democratic voters). Still, Abraham Lincoln was determined and would have the ammendment passed the very next year by the House of Representatives. This was a major turning point in American history because it not only freed African American slaves, but it also showed us that if we work hard to do what's right, we will succeed in the end. Thus making this more than your average historty lesson.
