Question

Baldwin notes in this essay that "the country is celebrating one hundred years of freedom one hundred years too soon". This essay was written on the 100th anniversary of the 13th Amendment (Emancipation from slavery). Using your knowledge of history (what we've read about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the 13th amendment), discuss the reasons freedom (emancipation) is being celebrated "too soon".

Answer 1

The thirteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States of America abolished slavery and servitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution annulled bondage and automatic subjugation, aside from as discipline for a wrongdoing. In Congress, it was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865.

The revision was sanctioned by the necessary number of states on December 6, 1865.
