The true abolition of slavery was achieved when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified on December 6, 1865. The first section of the Amendment declares: “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.” The Amendment is unique in the Constitution because it bars every person from holding slaves or engaging in other forms of involuntary servitude, whereas most constitutional provisions only constrain or regulate the government. It is unique in another way as well: although the Constitution obliquely acknowledged and accommodated slavery in its original text, the Thirteenth Amendment was the first explicit mention of slavery in the Constitution. The most immediate impact of the Thirteenth Amendment was to end chattel slavery as it was practiced in the southern United States.

The 3 of us get to the zoo and walk up to purchase passes for the day and we proceed to the entrance where the ticket scanners are - Cora scans her ticket first and the machine starts making a loud crazy noise that sounds like fireworks and celebration.

Léonard est un lionceau timide qui préfère rester à l’abri dans sa tanière plutôt que d’explorer la jungle. Pourtant, il admire les récits des anciens lions courageux de sa tribu, comme son grand-père, qui a sauvé leur clan d’une attaque de hyènes. Chaque soir, il s’endort en rêvant qu’un jour, il sera aussi brave. Mais la peur de l’inconnu l’empêche de faire le premier pas. Une nuit, une tempête éclate, et un grand arbre menace de s’effondrer sur leur refuge. Tous les adultes sont occupés à protéger les plus jeunes. Léonard, tremblant, décide d’agir. Il se souvient des histoires de son grand-père et se dit qu’il doit au moins essayer. Accompagné de ses amis, la malicieuse souris Mila et l’oiseau curieux Paco, il part à la recherche de lianes solides pour stabiliser l’arbre. En chemin, ils traversent une forêt sombre et rencontrent des obstacles : un serpent endormi qu’ils doivent contourner sans bruit, un pont cassé au-dessus d’une rivière qu’ils doivent réparer avec des branches, et un vent glacial qui semble vouloir les repousser. À chaque étape, Mila et Paco hésitent, mais Léonard, bien que terrifié, trouve les mots pour les encourager à continuer. Ils rencontrent aussi d’autres animaux, comme un paresseux qui leur conseille de ne pas se presser et un singe farceur qui leur propose un raccourci risqué. Léonard prend le temps de réfléchir et choisit toujours la solution la plus sûre, prouvant que le courage n’est pas l’absence de peur, mais la capacité de prendre des décisions difficiles. Ils reviennent au refuge avec les lianes juste à temps. Grâce à leur courage et à leur coopération, ils sauvent la tanière. Léonard découvre qu’il n’est pas nécessaire d’être grand et fort pour être courageux : il suffit d’agir malgré ses peurs. La tribu le félicite, et son grand-père lui dit qu’il est fier de lui. Léonard se couche ce soir-là, la poitrine gonflée de fierté, prêt à affronter de nouvelles aventures.
