After being liberated, former slaves in the United States were commonly referred to as "freedmen" and "freedwomen." They were part of the broader movement towards emancipation during and after the Civil War, particularly following the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865. The term "freedpeople" has also been used to collectively describe freedmen and freedwomen, emphasizing their new status as free citizens.
