This is the 3rd Edition. It includes six states that have taken action on this issue: While reading many early American historical documents, including the United States Constitution, I found it difficult to move past Sections 1 and 2 of the Thirteenth Amendment: (1) Neither slavery nor involuntary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. (2) Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Why would the United States Congress ratify an amendment to the Constitution to abolish slavery and involuntary servitude and yet insert an exception clause that sanctioned slavery as a punishment for a crime, and giving Congress the power to enforce the article through legislation? Ms. Ballard's thoughts on the subject are included in her book.
