Mississippi JUST ratified 13th amendment to end slavery. (controversial, Lincoln, official)

It sounds like a joke but it's not. And it took an indian immigrant to notice it too (again, not a joke).

Thanks to 'Lincoln,' Mississippi Has Finally Definitely Ratified the Thirteenth Amendment - Yahoo! News

Alright! Mississippi is about halfway through the 19th century now. At this rate they should pass the civil right act by about 2187...sweet.

in the end it doesnt matter because the 13th amendment had been the law of the land now for decades. same with the civil rights act.

Yah. Why should Mississippi officially put such a horrible chapter behind them.

How is this political or controversial?

Wow! Does this mean that the slaves in Mississippi are finally free at last?

[Harrier]

So OP, how many slaves were there in Mississippi in 2012?

Probably because there are quite a few C-D members who just found out that they are having a bad day and that some of their hopes have been vanquished.

It's an interesting footnote, at least.
