The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America abolished slavery in the United States. Although President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slavery continued in the U.S., so Lincoln made the passage of the 13th Amendment a key part of the Republican Party's platform for the 1864 Presidential election to ensure that it passed Congress.OurDocuments.gov: 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
