Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the Southern states. The Emancipation proclamation announced that the slaves were officially and legally free.

Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately. (Mostly, those that had been captured by Union troops and were being held as "enemy contraband".)
