Best Answer

Mississippi did ratify the 13th Amendment, but not until 1995.

Note: the previous answer, which I deleted because it was frivolous, claimed that the 13th Amendment was declared unconstitutional. The 13th Amendment is part of the constitution; it cannot be "unconstitutional" by definition.

Which two states were the last to abolish slavery in America?

The 13th amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery in the USA, and it was adopted on December 6, 1865. However, the state of Mississippi didn't "ratify" (to make it official) it until 1995. Kentucky didn't ratify until 1976. See the link below for further explanation. However, these two states not ratifying the 13th amendment until much after 1865 is considered to have only been symbolic. The federal law abolishing slavery still made it illegal for anyone in these states to own a slave.
