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.
Texas is often considered to be the last state to have officially ended slavery on June 19th 1865, which became known as Juneteenth.. However, although Juneteenth commemoraâ¦tes the ending of slavery in the U.S., the state of Mississippi didn't ratify (to make it official) the 13th amendment until 1995.
