Card 6 / 10:
What was the purpose of the Thirteenth Amendment? How was it different from the Emancipation Proclamation?
The Thirteenth Amendment officially and permanently banned the institution of slavery in the United States. The Emancipation Proclamation had freed only those slaves in rebellious states, leaving many slaves—most notably, those in the border states—in bondage; furthermore, it did not alter or prohibit the institution of slavery in general.
