Ahmed Lambert · Answer 1

The 13th amendment was a success.

Explanation:

The 13th amendment aimed at prohibiting slavery throughout the United States. And that was a success, slavery was really abolished and the purpose of the amendment was achieved.

However, abolishing slavery did not make blacks equal. The end of slavery did not bring an end to prejudice and racism, but these were not the aims of this amendment. For this reason, we can conclude that the amendment was a success.
