AnswerNo. Not in Europe and 1861 was well past the middle ages. In the United States there were still slaves so in a sense there were still serfs. AnswerThe serfs of the Russian Empire were freed in 1861. There is a link below.
As the US Civil War unfolded, the US army was small and did not have many generals. In order to command all the Union recruits, new generals had to be appointed. In 1861, Lincoln appointed one hundred and twenty six generals.
about 1,000,000 slaves true fact
Slavery is now illegal in the US. Therefore there should be no slaves in the US today.
Most were living in the south, where there were half a million free blacks, and three and a half million slaves. There was no large black population in the northern states.
It is estimated that 4 million slaves gained freedom as a result of the Union winning the American Civil War. The war was fought from 1861 to 1865.

too much
about 1,500
There is no way to tell exactly how many slaves were in the United States. The records kept were not accurate.
About five - if we take the estimated 3 million slaves who were in service in 1861, and the estimated 600,000 soldiers on both sides who died in the war.
They were called fugitives. A fugitive is a runaway slave
Over 9,000.
