Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which, both times it was issued, put an end to the legality of slavery in the United States of America. More information on the Emancipation Proclamation can be found at the Wikipedia link below

Slavery was officially stopped in late 1865, by constitutional amendment, passed by Congress and ratified by the states, following the US Civil War.
