The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was ratified on this date in 1865. It reads, Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in the United States.
Illinois was the first state to ratify the 24th amendment in 1962. The ratification process ended in 1964 with South Dakota being the 38th state to ratify the amendment. Unsurprisingly, most Southern states, except Florida, that had had the poll tax, voted against or failed to ratify the amendment.
