The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude in the United States, except as punishment for a crime. It marked a significant legal and moral shift in American society following the Civil War, ensuring that no individual could be enslaved or forced to work against their will. This amendment laid the groundwork for subsequent civil rights advancements and is considered a crucial step towards equality.
