Answer 1

The Thirteenth Amendment, passed by Congress, officially ended slavery in the United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment, which was passed by Congress, ended slavery throughout the United States. It was ratified in December 1865, eight months after the surrender of Robert E. Lee and the assassination of President Lincoln. The Thirteenth Amendment states that 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."
