Answer: It was meant to abolish slavery.

Step-by-step explanation: The thirteenth amendment states "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."

This means that no one is to be enslaved unless as a punishment for crime.
