Abraham Lincoln did not put a stop to it in the U.S, nor anywhere else. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which wasn't proposed or ratified until after Lincoln was dead ended legal slavery in the U.S.
Legal slavery was outlawed throughout the British Empire in 1833, over three decades before it happened in the U.S. The single most effective instrument in suppressing slavery, worldwide, was the Royal Navy.
18th amendment actually.....13th has to do with congress levying taxes...
Umm, Ma'am's slave doesn't think so. The 13th Amendment, ratified in 1865 outlaws slavery
Amendment XIII Section 1. 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. Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919 outlawed alcoholic beverages. It was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
Amendment XVIII Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. Section 2. The Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several states, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress.
Amendment XXI Section 1. The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed. Section 2. The transportation or importation into any state, territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited. Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several states, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress.
