Fugitive Slave Law 3

The 13th amendment states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." The 13th amendment is similar to the Emancipation Proclamation but there are differences. The Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to everyone and was not as official as the 13th amendment; it relied on the Union winning The Civil War 1. The Emancipation Proclamation is what lead to the 13th amendment being passed by the House of Representatives which applied to everyone 2.
