Yes not in the Emancipation Proclamation which freed most slaves but The thirteenth amendment finalized making slavery illegal in the United States in 1865. Abraham Lincoln strongly passed that.

It is more accurate to say that the ownership of slaves only among the general public was outlawed in 1865; it is still legal for the Government to enslave its prisoners who are found guilty after due process of the law.
