Explanation

The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery throughout the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment addressed equal protection under the law, and the Fifteenth Amendment prohibited denying men the right to vote based on race. The amendment granting women the right to vote was the Nineteenth Amendment, so the correct choice is “outlawed slavery in the United States.”
