The 13th Amendment is one of the most important documents in American history. Passed in 1865, it abolished slavery in the US, freeing about four million people. On June 26, 2025, a handwritten copy of the Amendment sold for a record $13.7 million at a Sotheby’s auction. Purchased by American billionaire Kenneth Griffin, it is the highest price ever paid for a document signed by President Abraham Lincoln. The previous auction record for a copy of the 13th Amendment was $2.4 million, set in 2016.

tigersword13일The price is not justified. You pay this much money for "historical documents", yet they're all just pieces of paper. They may be signed by "important" people, but how does that affect you? You don't gain the aura or knowledge of those people by spending this much on the paper. In fact, you could've spent this money on many, many more things.
milkfanforever11일Your wrong, take a peek at money, its just a "piece of paper" yet it costs so much. It's not just about material but value and importance.
gamergeek9일Exactly. Money is monetary and vain when compared to America's history and how our ppl fought for freedom and the work and time our leaders took to make these documents, and our freedom possible. NEVER take freedom for granted. Long Live the USA
