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.
