Answer:

the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude—except when applied as punishment for a crime—in the entire United States. The 13th Amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865. ... The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 freed slaves only in the 11 Confederate states
