The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, making it illegal to force someone to work against their will. It ensures that all individuals have the right to freedom and cannot be owned by another person. The amendment marked a significant step toward civil rights and equality in the U.S., particularly for African Americans.
