13. Slavery Abolished
Impo"ant Amendment
This is a very important amendment in the history of the United States
because it gave hundreds of thousands of African Americans their freedom from slavery. It was also important to the Civil War because over 200,000 African Americans volunteered for the Union Army. This was extremely
important to the Union cause. Out of these 200,000, 16 of them got the
Medal of Honor. Slaves realized that if they could meet Union soldiers they would be set free. This made many people try to run away. All in all the thirteenth amendment is one of the most important amendments in the Constitution.
