I believe slavery was abolished in 1865 because of the black people's contribution in the civil war (the notion that it was just this that contributed to abolishon of slavery is absoloutely rubbuish it was the fact that the noeth no longer believed in slavery and the cotton states wanted tyo carry on with the horrid practice that was slavery so thew south tried to breakaway and form there own country in effect) . Their contribution helped combat racist attitudes, giving 22 soldiers the congressional medal for bravery, proved to that black people were just as competent as anyone else. The more people that realised slavery was immoral put increased pressure on the southern slates and government to abolish slavery. If the black soldiers hadn't fought in the civil war, it is highly likely that the confederates would have won the war and slavery continued. Without the black people's contribution in the civil war, slavery could still be present today.
