He freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation that said slaves could no longer be kept in the rebel states, also known as the South.

Lincoln freed the slaves to try to keep the North fighting and to force the South back into the United States, Lincoln wanted to send all the slaves to Central America because he did not believe whites and blacks should live together, Lincoln also was a slave owner.

The final executive order of the Emancipation Proclamation, only freed slaves in the areas of the Confederacy that had not already returned to Union/federal control by January 1863.

The thirteenth Amendment. abolished and outlawed slavery, throughout the US. It was ratified by 3/4 of the states in December of 1865, though it had passed both Houses, and was signed by President Lincoln, on February 1, 1865.
