Explanation: The North fought to end slavery and South fought to keep slavery, hence the Civil War. When the North won the 13 Amendment was passed to abolish slavery.
Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "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.".
