Detailed explanation-1: -The Emancipation Proclamation, declared by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the American Civil War, only freed slaves held in confederate states. Only through the Thirteenth Amendment did emancipation become national policy. It was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Emancipation Proclamation described enslaved people as “all persons held as slaves” and tells them to abstain from all violence (except in self-defense) and to labor for reasonable wages. The 13th Amendment describes ending “slavery or involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime."
Detailed explanation-3: -The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution 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."
Detailed explanation-4: -What was the difference between the 13th Amendment and the Emancipation Proclamation? The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in confederacy only, not in the border states or the North. The 13th amendment was a law passed abolishing slavery throughout the US.
Detailed explanation-5: -The 13th Amendment was necessary because the Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in January of 1863, did not end slavery entirely; those ensllaved in border states had not been freed.
