Abstract
On January 31, 1865 the proposed Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery passed the House by the necessary two-thirds majority. Since slavery had already been practically abolished, the measure attracted no great attention. Under the thirteenth amendment, more than three millions of emancipated slaves found themselves at liberty to establish themselves in this Union wherever they might choose to seek a living.
