The 13th Amendment made slavery illegal in the United States, except when used as punishment for a crime. It was signed on February 1, 1865, and was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War.
The 13th Amendment is as follows:

Section 2: Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
