No, it did not. The Emancipation Declaration in 1863, before the end of the Civil War had some effect. The 14th Amendment in 1868 was the final word and all slaves were freed at that time. Still, legal and civil rights were limited well into the 1960's when the 1964 Civil Rights Act affected wages and voting rights.
