Quiz question:
Lucy may touch on this later, but: when was the 13th amendment ratified?
Baz will know
Just before the end of the civil war , but can’t remember exactly ...1864?
Trick question: Mississippi didn't ratify it until 2013!

Actually, I was aware (because I remember the press at the time) that the Mississippi State Senate moved a bill to ratify in 1995, but they needed to sign the bill, and they somehow "forgot" to do so until reminded in 2013...
