Who was involved in the 13th amendment
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution was primarily authored by Republican Senator John Bingham of Ohio, who is often referred to as its "father." It was introduced to the Senate by Republican Senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois on February 10, 1864. In the House of Representatives, it was steered by Republican Congressman James M. Ashley of Ohio. Both the Senate and the House passed the amendment on January 31, 1865, and February 1, 1865, respectively.
The amendment went on to be ratified by the states, with the final necessary number of states (27 out of 36) ratifying it on December 6, 1865. The involvement of President Abraham Lincoln, who actively supported its passage, was also significant. Overall, it had substantial bipartisan support from Republicans, with a smaller number of Democrats also backing it.
