Why was a national law against slavery needed even though the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued?
The Emancipation Proclamation only applied in places that were-AT THAT TIME- in rebellion against the Union. Some Northern states permitted slavery. The last slaves to be freed by law were in Kentucky and Delaware on December 6, 1865- 7 months after the Civil War ended. That was the date that the state of Georgia ratified the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution.
