Answer:

In the U.S

Step-by-step explanation:

The 13th amendment banned slavery in the entire U.S, not just the south. Any practice of slavery or involuntary servitude were abolished under the 13th amendment.

If the 13th amendment only forbade the south to participate in slavery then the slave owners in the south would move north and continue their practice of using people as slaves.

Hope this helps!!
