Cynthia Ms. Conboy AP U.S. History 25 January 2012 After the 13th Amendment was passed‚ African American slaves were freed from their lifetime involuntary servitude‚ and life for them seemed to be on the way to happiness (Document A). An economy that worked without slaves was a new concept to the South; freedmen were joyous about it‚ and white planters loathed it. The United States underwent a sort of revolution in its economy and its social hierarchy (Document D). After the Civil War ended

SIGNIFICANCE OF 13TH‚ 14TH‚ 15TH AMENDMENTS The 13th Amendment went through a number of significant constitutional processes and stages before finally gaining a place in the United States Constitution as it is today. For example Senate actually passed the Amendment on April 8‚ 1864 but it was not until January 31‚ 1865 that the House would also pass it (Wagner‚ 2006). Even with this‚ actual adoption of the 13th Amendment came to fruition on December 6‚ 1865. The 14th Amendment also went through

Even though the 13th Amendment is less applicable to later controversies than its counterparts‚ the 13th Amendment has the greatest impact on post-Civil War America.

political‚ and theoretical foundations of our current criminal justice system. Many articles we read‚ and the documentary we saw includes the impact of slavery‚ segregation‚ and the war on drugs and I do agree with what Angela Davis states in the film 13th‚ “historically when one looks at efforts to create reforms‚ they inevitably lead to more repression.” It sheds light on the fact that our criminal justice system is far from perfect.

WP3 Body Extra 2 Claim: The 13th amendment is unproductive because law abiding citizens are monetarily funding a prison workforce that does not benefit the public good. Evidence: Marc Santora‚ a reporter from the New York Times‚ reported that the average cost to feed‚ house‚ and guard an inmate accumulates to around $31‚ 286. In the state of New York‚ that amount is $60‚000 because “The inmate-to-staff ratio probably hovers around two prisoners for every guard (cite).” When the average cost is

The documentary 13th‚ was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence‚ crime‚ and race. In particular‚ I found it very interesting how the documentary stigmatized black men as violent individuals. How did they come up with this stigmatization?
