Join us live in Civil War and Reconstruction: The Battle for Freedom and Equality. On December 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified; it would abolish slavery or involuntary servitude nationwide, except as punishment for a crime. This program will look at the heroic abolitionists who fought for decades to end slavery prior to the 13th Amendment and explore the tactics they employed as well as the challenges they faced in their fight for freedom.
