15 jan 1865 ano - 1865 - The 13th Amendment

Descrição:

Black people in the war: Lincoln used the Emancipation Proclamation as a moral decision and as a strategy for the war. He thought that this would weaken the labor in the South and he allowed Black people to join the Union Army, strengthening the manpower of their militia. Lincoln saw how Black people dealt a huge blow to the Confederacy in the battles in which the Union ended up winning. However, there was an imbalance of discrimination and opportunities for Black people in the militia. On the one hand, they were paid way less, and they weren’t allowed to be officers. On the other hand, they did get access to education for example, becoming more literate.
The 13th Amendment 1865: As war progressed and “benefited” the Union, states like Tennessee and Missouri ended up abolishing slavery altogether. So in 1865, the Congress passed the 13th Amendment, ending slavery in the entire nation, and solidifying the initial claims and foundation of the Emancipation Proclamation.
