Before that war the majority of states had outlawed slavery, primarily in the North thou discrimination did occur.

The Emancipation Proclamation threatened to free the slaves who were in the south if they did not rejoin the union.

So nothing outlawed slavery outright but each state legeslated for itself and after the war the south had it forced upon them.
