Slavery in the United States was abolished during the Presidency of Abraham Lincoln in 1863 by the Emancipation Proclamation, followed by the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, which made it permanent and universal.

Answer 4

People from the north

Answer 5

I'd have to save Congress with the 13th amendment.

Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, but this freed slaves in territory that was not under Union Army control and did not apply to slave states that chose to remain in the Union (Kentucky, Maryland)

Answer 6

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Answer 7

President Abraham Lincon.

Answer 8

Lincoln really didn't abolish slavery.  He "freed the slaves" in the Confederate States.  Of course, they didn't listen to him because they didn't consider him their President anyway.  Of course, such a Proclomation is dubious in constitutional terms anyway.

Slavery was abolished by the Congress and the States under the 13th ammedment to The Constitution.

Answer 9

Abraham Lincoln

Answer 10

Slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln!!!.  

Answer 11
