Dampstain mostly to corners, overlapping text until around p42, marginal thereafter, then overlapping printed area again around p189. Contents otherwise very good.

The 13th Amendment was proposed Feb. 1, 1865, and was ratified Dec. 6, 1865. The amendment reads “Sec. 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” This is followed by a resolution denying the seceding states representation in the Electoral College.
