How long did it take for the thirteenth amendment to be ratified by state legislatures after it was passed by congress? less than six months less than a year more than a year more than two years

The correct answer is less than a year. The Thirteenth Amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the United States, was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865 and was ratified by the required number of state legislatures on December 6, 1865; consequently, it took almost eleven months to be ratified. Secretary of State William H. Seward proclaimed its adoption on December 18, 1865. The Thirteenth Amendment was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments (Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth) adopted the five years immediately following the Civil War (1865-1870).

ok it is truth cause i have that 2

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
