Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]
The 13th amendment is the first of the Civil War amendments. This particular amendment set the slaves free. At this point America was willing to let the African American be free, but it won't be until later until America realizes that they forgot to give them the same civil rights everyone else has.
I was having trouble finding a good video source for this amendment, so I thought this one would get the point across, that this amendment freed the slaves.
The picture above represents slaves being freed and also states the 13th amendment
Wow that video was super quick, but it gets straight to the point of the 13th Admendment. Slavery is no longer allow in the United States, but I think in foreign countries slavery still exist today. Even with this admendment passed, African American would have the same rights as the Caucasian.
