Answer: It was written to balance social relations in the country to ensure basic human rights. The purpose of the thirteenth amendment is to abolish slavery.

Explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment is one of the most famous amendments to the U.S. Constitution in history. This amendment abolished slavery, except in the case of certain legal proceedings when the accused would be prescribed slavery as a punishment for certain offenses.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:Wooden railroads, called wagonways, were built in the United States starting from the 1720s.

Between 1762 and 1764, at the close of the French and Indian War (1756–1763), a gravity railroad (mechanized tramway) (Montresor's Tramway) is built by British military engineers up the steep riverside terrain near the Niagara River waterfall's escarpment at the Niagara Portage (which the local Senecas called "Crawl on All Fours.") in Lewiston, New York.
