Slavery ended throughout the United States in December, 1865 with the 13th Amendment to the Constitution.

Slavery ended earlier in many states. The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 caused slaves to be freed wherever Union troops advanced in the south. However, slavery persisted in the border states (Delaware, for example) until the end of 1865.

Yes the Border states were a touchy place to be heavy handed. It could have sent Kentucky, Missouri or Maryland to the Confederacy.
