There is no single date to mark "when the blacks were freed." Of approximately 4.4 mil blacks living in the US in 1960, 3.9mil lived as slaves in the South. Without along history lesson regarding slaves being enticed away to serve as Union soldiers, runaway slaves, and the political wrangling to bring the Southern States to heel while saving face, some dates are recognized. In general, for most enslaved blacks were "freed" in April 1865, after Appomattox, but not all; till June 19, 1865 in Texas where they refused to comply until there was a Union troop presence, and by December 1865 in the Boarder States ( Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, and Kentucky.) But attitudes towards blacks socially, and beliefs about So 1865 is an acceptable, and correct answer!
The 13th Amendment- abolishing slavery or any type of servitude- was ratified December 18th, 1865
It depends which country you are referring to. Slavery is an ongoing problem even today.
In the United States, some slaves were occasionally emancipated when the slaveowner died, or got religion, or realized how perniciously wrong slavery is.
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, but only for slaves living in the Confederacy; it didn't affect Union states. (Since the Confederacy was at war with the Union, it didn't have an immediate or widespread impact.) Most US territories banned slavery during 1864 and 1865. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1865, abolishing slavery everywhere in the United States, making the US a "Johnny come lately" to the Abolitionist movement.
In the United Kingdom, the Slavery Abolition Act was signed by Parliament in 1833, and took effect in three stages beginning August 1, 1833, and most possessions of the British Empire banned slavery at the time that the territory was annexed to the Empire. Britain joined France, Austria, Russia and Prussia in abolishing the trading of slaves in 1843, virtually eliminating the transoceanic trade in slaves.
Slavery continues to this day within some African nations.
The last African-American slaves were freed in 1927, but American Indians were still enslaved through 1934.
