2. After the Civil War was over, the Constitution was amended to free the slaves
During the civil war, Abraham Lincoln decided to free the slaves and wanted to assure equal protection for them. This was the beginning of a new era without slavery where everybody would have the legal right to vote.
He even allowed all the African American citizens to join the Union Army (known as the “United States Colored Troops”). Right before the Civil War was over, the southern states were allowed into the United States, but with some amendments.
The thirteenth was based on the abolition of slavery in the United States; the fourteenth was based on granting African Americans “equal protection under the law,” and the fifteenth was about giving everybody the right to vote.
You should send this part of the article to the part of The Republican Party that are trying to take voting rights and other freedoms away from people. ( Especially Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump).
I’m surprised that there is no constitutional amendment providing for how any state can leave the United States or stating secession can’t be done.
Thanks so much for these very Indepth facts about The Civil War. I personally learned an expanded information I was unaware of.
Very believeable. And interesting to read about.
Great synopsis of some very interesting facts that are not widely known. Thank you for enlightening us.
I didnt knwo that Sonewall Jackson was a Hypochondriac. Did one of his own men kill him by misake?
Don’t think of it as a mockery. Just proves that always thanking people is the right thing to do.
I am very interested in the history of the civil war. It is a shame Civil War Monuments were destroyed or moved!!
Our Congress people today need to read this and review our history. Especially about where we sll came from throughout the world, equal protection and the right fo vote. Certain ones come to mind more than others but all need a refresher.
Interesting. Knew some, didn’t know others. Good read.
