Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The thirteenth amendment emancipated the slaves and abolished slavery, except as consequence for a crime.
Not very realistic, but in it's humor the actors do draw some parallels to the abolition of slavery.
I thought this was an interesting thought-that President Lincoln possibly freed the slaves with the thirteenth amendment, to fight for him in the Civil War.
