Abstract

It took hundreds of years for slavery to end in the New World/America. By 1865, the country known as the United States of America had fought a Civil War, assassinated a President, and had ratified an Amendment to end slavery. That Amendment was known as the 13th Amendment and came approximately eight years after the failure of the Dred Scott case. This chapter focuses on the events that led up to the 13th Amendment and others that came thereafter. It also focuses on the ratification of the 13th Amendment itself as well as the consequences (i.e., both positive and negative) regarding the 13th Amendment. A discussion of solutions and recommendations will follow along with a conclusion.
