The first form of slavery was in the seen in America as indentured servants when a group of Africans were used as this in 1619. Slavery was present through the 18th century and was finally abolished in 1865. The Abraham Lincoln and other leaders of the anti-slavery party were major voices that lead the 13th amendment to be added to the constitution. The 13th amendment says 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. It also says that Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. media type="custom" key="5155363"
