The 13th Amendment never abolished slavery. Wording is very important I. The law-First, what does the 13th Amendment actually state concerning the abolition of slavery?
Have you ever read it for yourself? Most people, when reading this constitutional provision, fly through it without thought.
Let's take it slow.
The 13th Amendment states the following mandate.
“ "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."
Now, compare that to a country where everything seems to be a crime.
