13th Amendment

"To ban all slavery in the United States"

How the South prevented effects of the 13th Amendment

• Black codes
• Freedmen could rarely vote
• Segregation separated whites and blacks
• Sharecropping

Examples of prevention of amendment

• Freedmen had limited land
• Freedmen worked for food and not money
• Blacks could not vote
• Sharecropping-freedmen worked as laborers

The 13th Amendment still had flaws and did not fully ban slavery
