1900s
Mississippi is the last state that freed the slaves in the United States. Mississippi actually did not ratify the law that freed the slaves.
ddf. Actually the real answer is that Lincoln encouraged those free slaves go into freedom forever while the other un freed slaves stayed slave.
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. That was when slaves were officially free in the United States. It did not actually happen until after the Civil War ended in 1865.
The state that did not free the slaves was Delaware. Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri did not free slaves either.
Abraham Lincoln wanted to free the slaves.
It did, in a sense, because it legally set the slaves free. However, the south chose to ignore this new law, so no southern slaves were actually free.

free black slaves
The Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to the group of slaves that were owned in Union states. While it is celebrated for ending slavery, it actually did not free all slaves.
they were slaves not free men
The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the Southern states, who already broke off from the union. This meant that President Lincoln had no control over whethere these slaves would be free or not. But once a Southern town or area was freed by Union soldiers, the slaves would be free. This caused help for the Union army from former slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation went into effect January 1, 1863.
Wow i can't believe you are actually asking this question.... Lincoln freed the slaves then got assassinated by John Wilkes Booth
Most of the slaves that Grant oversaw in Missouri were actually owned by his father-in-law . They were all set free when the Missouri state government abolished slavery. I think maybe one of his slaves stayed with him to work a free man.
