2. IT’S IN THE MAIL
Mississippi was the last state to ratify the 13th amendment abolishing slavery in 1995. At least hey thought they did. Oops, someone messed up. The “oops” in Mississippi was reported onABC News:
Two medical school colleagues, one an immigrant from India, the other a life-long Mississippian, joined forces to resolve a historical oversight that until this month had never officially been corrected.
The oversight was no small one either. Until February 7, 2013, the state of Mississippi had never submitted the required documentation to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, meaning it never officially had abolished slavery.
