The emancipation proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863. This was the notice that all slaves were free. However, this notice did not reach most slaves, so they continue to think they were enslaved. Slavery ended in 1865. Soon followed by the 14th amendment in 1868. If you would like further assistance or would like to learn more about this time period, please let me know! I would be happy to assist!
