Close Example Image and Paragraph: The 13th Amendment SEX © akg-images / Universal Images Group / Image Quest 2012 Long before the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 creating the United States of America, slavery was prevalent in the region. At the start of the Civil War in 1861, the majority of African Americans were enslaved. While the Emancipation Proclamation declared about three million slaves in the southern states free from slavery in 1863, it did not abolish slavery, or free slaves outside of the Confederate states. After the Civil War ended, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1865, finally declaring that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This amendment formally abolished legal slavery in the United States and made it possible for African Americans across the United States to legally claim the liberties described in the nation's founding documents. Later court cases, amendments and legislation would be required to ensure these freedoms were protected and freely exercised throughout the nation. Our Documents.
