When were slaves allowed to get there freedom?

The timeline for when slaves were allowed to obtain freedom varied depending on the specific laws and circumstances of the region. For example, in the United States, slaves gained their freedom through processes such as manumission, emancipation proclamations, legislative acts, and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which officially abolished slavery in 1865.
