That was what I thought as well, but did some digging to confirm.. However, at least according to the link, Mississippi never did, and yet they are stuck with the rest of us.

Exactly. I was coercion and arm twisting from people who don't believe in Slavery.

It was the use of force to subjugate the will of others.

"Ratifying the 13th was a condition for readmission to the union."

How can a state not in the union vote to ratify an amendment to that union ??
