Answer 1

ratification of the 13th amendment in 1865

Step-by-step explanation:

While some sources may say that the emancipation proclamation abolished slavery, it has been shown that the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in states captured by the north during the war. Slavery was not formally abolished until the 13th amendment was signed and ratified.
