Can a private company not accept a letter of resignation? Would that be a violation of the 13th amendment?

If it's in violation of your contract they can reject your resignation, but most people are At Will employees which means either side can terminate employment.

This is generally false. You can’t be forced to work and a specific performance judgement is unlikely. If you resign and had a contract you can’t work elsewhere, may need to pay damages. But slavery, indentures etc mostly illegal these days

If the terms of the resignation contradict terms in the employment agreement, I would think so. As long as the employment agreement is legal itself.

Duh, yes of course, good point! Not sure what I was thinking.
