The thirteenth amendment outlawed slavery in the United States.
The 13th Amendment actually outlawed slavery on its own, the 14th distinguished that all people born in the United States are legal citizens and the 15th amendment stated that no one would be denied the right to vote based on race, color or prior servitude.
No. Slavery was abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in a joint effort between Congress and the states that ratified the amendment. A constitutional amendment is more powerful than a US Supreme Court decision, because it is not subject to change by the Supreme Court.
