This table presents the data and images of the TONA Research Committee archival discoveries of State and Territorial Publications published between 1816 through 1876 that show the inclusion of the 13th Titles of Nobility and Honour Amendment to the Constitution for the United States. As each year has gone by the Committee has found more publications.

If you are interested you can click on each of the underlined publication dates to view the images. [Some remain yet to be scanned.]

In September, 2002, the TONA Research Committee acquired the book "Military Laws of the United States to which is prefixed the Constitution of the United States", authorized by Secretary of War John C. Calhoun, compiled by Major Trueman Cross, Deputy Quarter-Master-General of the Army, published in Washington in 1825. It contains the 13th Amendment in its proper place.[Frontis Page], [Request for Authorization], [Authorization by JCC], [Image of Page 14, Amendments 1 - VI], [Image of Page 15, Amendments VI(Cont) - XII], [Image of XII(Cont) and XIII]

Of note also, the 2nd Amendment [Image of Page 14, Article II] is properly presented as ratified and as shown in all presentations until after the time of the Civil War and Reconstruction, without the extra commas after the words "Militia" and "Arms".    The only source properly presented today is that for the United States Senate on the United States Government Printing Office site at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/constitution/html/amdt2.html

The TONA Research Committee is in physical possession of certified images of the 13th Amendment as presented in all the above publications or of the publications themselves.
