This is my friend Steve, But I can't play with him because he is always working on a farm, Because he was a slave.
But one day in 1865, something changed, something good.
One day, Steve was finally free! I didn't know about it until he came to my house and knoked on the door. Steve told me about the 13th amendment. CONGRESS PASSED A BILL THAT FREED ALL SLAVES IN THE USA!!!
I thought this was a dream, but when I pinched myself it really hurt ''OUCH'' I was not dreaming. Is Steve finally free?

''Did you hear the news?'' ''All people who were or are now born in the USA are Americans, and I'm now free from slavery.''
In 1868, steve had even better news! The 14th amidment was ratified
YES IT DOES!
''Does that mean that that we are American?''
YIPPY!!!
