The 13th amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery in the USA, and it was adopted on December 6, 1865. However, the state of Mississippi didn't "ratify" (to make it official) it until 1995. Kentucky didn't ratify until 1976. See the link below for further explanation. However, these two states not ratifying the 13th amendment until much after 1865 is considered to have only been symbolic. The federal law abolishing slavery still made it illegal for anyone in these states to own a slave.

Vermont was one of the first states to ratify the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in the United States. The state legislature approved the amendment on February 9, 1865, before it was officially passed by Congress. Vermont's early support reflected its strong anti-slavery sentiment during the Civil War era.
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery.
Mississippi ratified the amendment in 1995, but because the state never officially notified the US Archivist, the ratification is not official.
