Ineed i will mark the brainliest answer! regardless of whether the plan to readmit southern states would come from the legislative branch or the executive branch, one thing that republicans all agreed on was the abolition of slavery. the emancipation proclamation had freed slaves but only in areas that had not been occupied by union forces. this meant that the border states were not impacted by the proclamation which caused many to fear that the federal courts might someday declare it unconstitutional. therefore, on january 31st of 1865, congress proposed the thirteenth amendment making slavery illegal throughout the united states. it was ratified and took effect on december 18, 1865. while many abolitionists felt their efforts had finally been acknowledged, some felt their work would not be done until black men had been granted the right to vote. freedom brought important changes to newly freed slaves. many couples were legally married, many searched for relatives who had been sold away from their families, many women began to work at home instead of in the fields, and perhaps most impactful was the ability of newly freed people to travel freely and farm their own land. but although the thirteenth amendment made slavery illegal, many would soon discover that it didn’t necessarily guarantee social and economic freedoms. 1. true or false: all republicans agreed on the abolition of slavery. 2. true or false: the emancipation proclamation prohibited slavery in the border states. 3. true or false: the thirteenth amendment made slavery illegal throughout the entire united states. 4. true or false: the 13th amendment gave african americans the right to vote 5. true or false: the 13th amendment guaranteed social and economic freedom to african americans.
