The end of slavery in the United States was primarily brought about by the Civil War (1861-1865) and the subsequent passing of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865. The war was fought in part over the issue of slavery, and the Union victory led to the abolition of slavery in all states. The 13th Amendment formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, ensuring that these practices could not continue legally in the country.
