The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery.

This video shows how hard it was for slaves in the 1600's. The thirteenth amendment was a start to the freeing of slaves. The slaves were set free but many of the slaves did not know what to do or how to provide for their families now that they were set free from working against their own free will.
