In December of 1865, the US passed the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. This amendment abolished slavery in the US. This was the correct thing to do. If the Framers had managed to convince Southerners to gradually abolish slavery, such as the compensation method used by Great Britain, there would have never been a US Civil War. The roots of slavery in America, and in fact throughout many parts of the Western Hemisphere began decades before the American Revolution. In 1793, no one could have predicted the harm it would cause. Slavery was expected to wither away in the US until the invention of the Cotton Gin helped to expand slavery.
