So far, this week’s programs have included a look at “The 13th Amendment and the Abolition of Slavery” Feb. 8. SUNY Morrisville Professor J. Thomas Hogle described the progress from the Crittenden Compromise to the ratification of the 13th Amendment (1860-1865). The realization evolved that the ending of slavery must be more than a war measure or a statute; it must be an amendment to the Constitution. ....
