Each part is divided into food items, information about the state, pre- and post-emancipation slavery reviews, regions of each state and biblical scriptures. INFORMATION ABOUT SLAVERY PRE AND POST SLAVERY Slavery in America before the Constitution Beginning in 1619, the first slaves were brought to Virginia.
The southern planters were dependent on slaves labor to work in the fields or cotton, rice and other duties across the plantation. The slave labor was free. When the Constitution was written, the slaveholders did not want Congress to be given the power to stop slave trade. The original Constitution was written in 1787. As a compromise, the writers of the Constitution agreed that Congress would not stop the slave trade for 20 years. After 1808, how slaves could be brought into the country some states Illegally imported slaves.
However, slavery continued in some states were bought, sold and kept in slavery until the end of the Civil War in 1865. The Civil War started in Sumter County, South Carolina in 1861. The Civil War was fought from 1861-1865. The troops were divided up into two sides the Union side, fought for America and the Confederate fought for secession. The Union had 596,670 killed, wounded, captured or went missing in action. The Confederates had 490, 409 confederates soldiers were killed, wounded, captured or went missing in action.
Slavery was one of the causes why the Civil War broke out for the Emancipation was written by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, two years after the war began. It stated the Emancipation Proclamation that all slaves in the antebellum states, the confederate states were free. It did not free the slaves in the states that were loyal to the Union. All slaves were freed after the ending of the Civil War. Freedom came to most slaves after two years in slavery. Even though the Emancipation was issued in 1865, the end of slavery marked by the passing of the 13 th Amendment to the Constitution and the end of the Civil War in 1865.
The African slaves served 250 years of free labor in the building of the United States. The Civil War Amendments The 13 th , 14 th and 15 th amendments are known as the Civil War Amendments. The 13 th Amendment-Slaves freed. The amendment was approved in 1865. Not all slaves were freed at the end of the Civil War. The 13 th Amendment made slavery illegal.
The 14 th Amendment: The 14 th Amendment was approved in 1868 to protect the right of the freed slaves. It along with the Bill of Rights, protects the rights of all citizens. The amendment in part says nor shall any state deprive (deny) any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law (the right to be treated fairly, nor deny to any person within the jurisdiction (boundaries) the equal protection of the law. 15 th Amendment The 15 th amendment approved in 1870 Guaranteed black male citizens the right to vote. Neither black nor white women had the right to vote until 1920. Many of the slaves did not receive notification until later.
For example, the Texas slaves did not receive the news until June. Therefore, Texas African-Americans celebrate Juneteenth. June 19 was Emancipation Day in 1865. Some Georgia former slaves celebrate May 12, 1865. Mississippi former slaves were given notification in December 1865. Mississippi did not ratify the 13 th Amendment until later.
