The 13th Amendment of the US Constitution formally banned slavery. As part of the process to make an amendment, each state legislature has to vote for or against the amendment; 75% of the states need to vote for it for it to pass. In 1865, there were 36 states, and 27 of them passed the amendment-which was the 75% needed for it to become law. It went into effect, even though some states didn't pass it.
However, Mississippi refused to pass it, even though it had already gone into effect. They didn't finally get around to passing it until 1995.

Why did Britain end slavery?
Britain ended slavery because it was deemed to be a cruel and barbaric practice that could not be justified in a civilised society. In 1785 slavery had been abolished in the British Isles but was still legal in many British Colonies. By 1783, an anti-slavery movement to abolish the slave trade throughout the Empire was begun. In 1785, English poet William Cowper wrote: "We have no slaves at home - Then why abroad? Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs receive our air, that moment they are free. They touch our country, and their shackles fall. That's noble, and bespeaks a nation proud. And jealous of the blessing. Spread it then, And let it circulate through every vein." Slavery was officially abolished in most of the British Empire on 1 August 1834
