The Emancipation Proclamation, written by President Abraham Lincoln, gave slaves their freedom in American on January 1st, 1863. This was only applicable to slaves under control of the then-Confederate government, and had no effect, as the Southerners would not listen to what they believed to be "foreign" laws. Universal emancipation came in the form of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, granting all persons freedom, on January 31st, 1865.

Could slaves win there right in ancient rome?

It depends on what you mean by their rights. The only rights a slave had was to have a new tunic every year and a new cloak and shoes every two years, and the right to freedom if their master turned them out because they were old or infirm. However, slaves could also buy their freedom, or have it granted to them, if this is what you mean by a "right".It depends on what you mean by their rights.
