#InCaseYouMissedIt - 13th Amendment Ended Slavery, NJ Last of Northern States to Abolish ATLANTIC CITY — Today [Dec. 6] marks the 158th anniversary of the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, the Amendment moved on to be passed by the House of Representatives on Jan. 31, 1865. Ratification occurred on Dec. 6 of that same year, officially abolishing slavery in the United States. Section 1 of the Thirteenth Amendment reads: “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.” Nevertheless, some states were slow to ratify. At the time, 36 states comprised the United States. Only 27 of these states accepted the Amendment at the time of its introduction, which was the minimum requirement as any constitutional amendment may only be requested by three-fourths of the states before it can proceed to become part of federal law.
