History

Olin [163]3 years ago

Answer:

The purpose of the 13th Amendment was to abolish slavery throughout the United States.

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery in the United States of America, and, with limited exceptions (such as those condemned for a crime) prohibited involuntary servitude.

At the time of its ratification, slavery remained legal only in Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and New Jersey. In the rest of the United States, slaves had been freed by the state action and the "Emancipation Proclamation" of the federal government.

The 13th Amendment is to abolish (rid) slavery. I'm not understanding the question as to what the purpose was. Can you be more specific or did you just need to know what it was?

I’m pretty sure it’s Greece because that’s where they were told to fight. Thermopylae is in Greece. However, if you disagree- Persia would be a good alternate guess because they were from Persia and went to Greece.

What did lin zexu do with the 20,000 chests of opium that were surrendered at canton in 1839?
musickatia [10]

He burned it. He set about destroying the held opium. After enclosing the site with a bamboo barrier to avoid theft, three stone quarries, lined with wood, were excavated into which was discharged the seized opium along with salt and lime. A minor disruption happened when one man was caught trying to take away an amount of the drug—he was then executed right at that moment. Once the excavation had been occupied with sea water, laborers plodded the mixture to safeguard the drug's annihilation. The remainder was then flushed through a waterway into the South China Sea while Lin said an appeal saying sorry for the pollution they have caused.
