Thirteenth Article Of Amendment To The Constitution For The United States Because of the difference between the northern and the southern territory in handling the point about slaves someone, probably someone who lived in the south, made the 13th amendment to make it equal. The 13th amendment was passed in January 1865. Lincoln helped it a little with bringing it thru the congress to make it pass and changing it a little of the text. Basically …showed first 75 words of 239 total…

…showed last 75 words of 239 total…of the United States more equal. Lincoln used it tactical to take reasons from the confederates away to split the country up. Because it takes free worker away from the north people they did not like it. After it passed all slaves were free if they had a work and were not in jail because someone found them doing nothing. The south people cheered and got back a little of their trust into their government.
