Slavery was outlawed in the captured territory (only) of the Confederacy by the Emancipation Proclamation, in 1862. No slave holding states in the union, such as Maryland and Kentucky, were required to free slaves. Slavery was outlawed by constitutional amendment in 1865 for the entire US. Some Navajos were kept as slaves after this date in parts of New Mexico and Arizona. There are more slaves being held illegally in the US (white slavery) today than there were legal slaves in 1865.
The law that outlwed slavery in the states that seceded was the emancipation proclamation (Jan. 1st 1863), which Lincoln issued to free slaves in the confederates to weaken the south. The law that outlawed slavery in the Union was the 13th amendment (issued in 1865), it banned slavery in the entire U.S.
