The National Constitution Center is thrilled to offer interactive classes on the Constitution during the 2020-2021 school year!

Slavery was embedded into America’s fabric by the time of the ratification of the Constitution.How did this affect how long slavery lasted in America and how it ended? The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments ended slavery in America and tried to rebuild our nation on a stronger constitutional foundation.  Do you think that these Amendments changed the Constitution so much that it was like a re-birth—a “Second Founding”—of our nation?
