To ensure emancipation Lincoln pushed for passage of the Thirteenth Amendment and insisted that Reconstruction plans for Southern states require abolition in new state constitutions. Congress passed the 13th Amendment by the necessary two-thirds vote on January 31 1865 and it was ratified by the states on December 6 1865 ending legal slavery. unknown books‎
