    13th amendment

    Though the amendment formally abolished slavery throughout the United States, factors such as Black Codes, white supremacist violence, and selective enforcement of statutes continued to subject some black Americans to involuntary labor, particularly in the South. In contrast to the other Reconstruction Amendments, the Thirteenth Amendment was rarely cited in later case law, but has been used to strike down peonage and some race-based discrimination as "badges and incidents of slavery". While the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments apply only to state actors, the Thirteenth applies also to private citizens. The amendment also enables Congress to pass laws against sex trafficking and other modern forms of slavery.…

    The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution contains the Citizenship Clause, the Due Process Clause, and the Equal Protection Clause. The Citizenship Clause maintains the citizenship of individuals who were born or naturalized in the United States. The Due Process Clause maintains that a state is prohibited from denying an individual of “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The Equal Protection Clause prohibits a state from denying an individual “within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” As it seeks to safeguard the liberties of citizens, the Fourteenth Amendment has been utilized to prevent discrimination against individuals based upon gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, etc. since…

    How far is it accurate to describe black Americans as second class citizens up to the 1950?

    After the abolition of slavery in the United States, three Constitutional amendments were passed to grant newly freed African Americans legal status: the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth provided citizenship, and the Fifteenth guaranteed the right to vote. In spite of these amendments and civil rights acts to enforce the amendments, between 1873 and 1883 the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions that virtually nullified the work of Congress during Reconstruction. Regarded by many as second-class citizens, blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed forces, and schools in both Northern and Southern states.…

    Three Pivotal Amendments Of The Reconstruction Era

    After the Civil War, the United States entered a period known as the Reconstruction Era. During the Reconstruction Era, three pivotal amendments were passed and added to the Constitution. Amendment 13, passed in 1865 and perhaps the most crucial, abolished all slavery in the United States. Amendment 14 was passed in 1868 and granted African American citizenship, a step up from the 3/5 Compromise in which white slave owners could use each slave they owned as 3/5 of a person (and a vote) when it came time to vote for representatives in the late 1700s. The 15th Amendment, passed in 1870, granted black men the right to vote.…

    Reconstruction Dbq

    In 1865, Amendment Thirteen of the United States was ratified. The article states that all slaves residing in the nation or any of its corresponding territories are deemed emancipated. (Document A) Though the article does publicly mandate emancipation, it fails in successfully granting freedom to previous slaves. Southern states imposed “black codes” upon the newly freedmen. These diminishing codes restricted various activities and behaviors of the black community. Many included the prevention of interracial marriage, black testaments against whites in court of law, and jobs outside of agriculture. Clearly, the Thirteenth Amendment was not strictly imposed upon the once rebellious southern states. Three years later, congress decided to enact another article that would annul the previously mandated Dred Scott Decision of 1957, which states that blacks could not be legal citizens. This newly established document was titled the Fourteenth Amendment. The amendment itself stated that all persons born or naturalized in the…

    Why Is The 13th Amendment Important

    This was also referenced as the “Reconstruction Amendments” and it took The United States nearly 50 years to establish these three significant amendments that would benefit people of color to live the life they deserve in the U.S. The Thirteenth Amendment was placed so slavery would be abolished for good. On the other hand, the Fourteenth Amendment consisted of granting citizenship to anyone who was a slave at that point while in todays time, it is continued to be used to allow people across the world to have the opportunity to live in the United States. There also was the creation of The Fifteenth Amendment, this was the first step to have African-Americans receive access to contribute to the decision of selecting new Politicians or Presidents by giving them the right to vote. Without these three amendments in the U.S., there would not have been more chain reactions for more rights and laws created for minorities and people of color living in the United…

    13th Amendment

    The convention at Philadelphia drew up one of the most influential documents in history, the constitution of the United States. Among some of the controversial issues regarding the delegates was that of slavery. Slaves made up about one fifth of the population in the American Colonies. Majority of them lived Southern Colonies where 40 percent was consisted of the population. Delegates from states with large populations of slaves argues that slaves should be considered person in determining delegates from states where slavery had disappeared or almost disappeared argued that slaves should be included in taxation, but not in determining representation. Slavery in the US was abolished by the thirteen amendments. The Supreme Court's decision in the Civil Rights Cases (1883) suggested that section 2 gave Congress the authority to outlaw “badges and incidents” of slavery as well as the institution itself. Thus it is not surprising that for much of the twentieth century civil rights litigation focused almost entirely on section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was adopted in 1868. In response to those issues Congress passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, this amendment declared slavery illegal, was ratified by the necessary number of states, although not by any Southern states.…
