Amendment Thirteen

"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."
"Congress shall have power to enforce this article to appropriate."

"Free Slaves"
The 13th Amendment was adopted to free the slaves and it eliminated forever slavery and any other kind of forced and involuntary labor. The only exceptions were labor of criminal victims, military service for those drafted, and jury duty.

This picture represents the thirteenth amendment because the Thirteenth Amendment ended slavery in the United States. A lot of people were against the amendment at first but it has really helped out the Civil Rights Movement. The amendment was added in 1855 and it made it illegal to have slavery in the United States. I agree that it is not right to have slavery and I think it is sad to see someone getting treated as a slave, so I approve of this amendment.

This video represents the 13th amendment because it acts out a scene of how someone was being treated as a slave. He did not follow orders and then was beaten with a whip. Also this video explainse the 13th amendment and how slavery needed to be put to an end becasue men were not being created equally.
