Quatr.us > America > People > Reconstruction. April 2016 - During the Civil War, in 1863 AD, President Lincoln announced the end of slavery. When the North won the war, in 1865, Congress and the states voted to change the Constitution to make slavery illegal, so all the people who were slaves in the South became free. Some people chose to leave the plantations, now that they were free.
The Civil War ended in 1865 - on April 9, 1865, when Lee surrendered to Grant.Slavery ended when the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified. The 13th Amendment was â¦ passed by both Houses, and approved by President Lincoln in February 1865.It was ratified in December 1865 by 3/4 of the states.t is very likely that without the Civil War, slavery would have lasted a good may years longer than it did because of the war.Though there is the possibility that slavery could have continued to this day if it weren't for the Civil War, I find that highly unlikely.
