No, Mississippi did not ratify the 13th Amendment until 2013. Although the amendment was originally passed by Congress in 1865 to abolish slavery, Mississippi's ratification was not officially completed until February 7, 2013, making it the last state to do so. Prior attempts to ratify in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were not recognized as official.
