The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime. It marked a significant step in the fight for civil rights, ensuring that no individual could be held in bondage within the United States. The amendment was a key outcome of the Civil War and aimed to secure freedom for millions of enslaved African Americans.
