The 13th Amendment took a long time to pass due to significant political and social resistance. Many lawmakers were divided over the issue of slavery, and there was considerable opposition from Southern states, where slavery was integral to their economy and social structure. Additionally, the amendment faced challenges in gaining enough support in Congress, particularly before the end of the Civil War, as the political landscape was tumultuous and often contentious. Ultimately, it required a concerted push from abolitionists and changing public sentiment to secure its passage in 1865.
