1. Born in Chicago, he was the only son of a Mississippi native named Mamie Till, whose family migrated as part of the Great Migration to Chicago. He developed polio at age 6, which left him stuttering. He stayed outgoing amid the setback. He and his cousins and friends enjoyed playing baseball, riding bicycles and fishing. He was so fond of having fun that he would pay people to tell him jokes. He moved to Mississippi in August 1955 for a holiday with his nephew, Wheeler Parker. The boys were staying at the
2. Posthumously, Till became a symbol of the movement for civil rights. Till was born and raised in the Illinois town of Chicago. He visited relatives near Money, in the Mississippi Delta area, during the summer holidays in August 1955. He talked to twenty-one-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the married white owner of a small grocery store there.
3. On August 28, 1955, 14-year-old Emmett Till, an African American from Chicago, was brutally murdered while visiting his family in Money, Mississippi, for allegedly flirting with a white woman four days earlier.
4. A public open-casket funeral for her son insisted on Till's distraught mother to shed light on the abuse inflicted on blacks in the South. Till's killers were acquitted, but civil rights leaders nationally were galvanized by his murder.
5. 'A number of stakeholders' questioned the Department of Justice in 2004 if any remaining offenders could be tried. The department concluded after analyzing available records that, according to the report, the statute of limitations prohibited any criminal prosecution. A Mississippi grand jury refused to press fresh charges three years later.

Was the Thirteenth Amendment a success or a failure? Discuss the reasons for your answer.

White raven [17]

Answer:

The 13th amendment was a success .

Explanation:

The 13th amendment aimed at prohibiting slavery throughout the United States. And that was a success, slavery was really abolished and the purpose of the amendment was achieved.

However, abolishing slavery did not make blacks equal. The end of slavery did not bring an end to prejudice and racism, but these were not the aims of this amendment. For this reason, we can conclude that the amendment was a success.
