Some slaves left their "masters" to join the British loyalists in order to gain their freedom. Some were freed and actually taken to Britain and Canada after the War of Independence.
i dont think there is a title for it... i think they just left it has amendment 3.
I am not sure what you want to know. After Washinton died, they had a funeral and he was buried at MT. Vernon. There were memorial services held all over the country. He left instructions that his slaves be freed after his wife died. She died thre years later/

William was the slave that Washington freed in his will and left an annuity to.
Abraham Lincoln is the one who freed the slaves.Harriet Tubman freed the slaves over 300 people.
After the Proclamation, the Union troops were licensed to free any slaves they came across on their Southern campaigms. The actual law that made slavery illegal in the USA was not passed till after the war.

the slaves
In the US on January 1,1863, President Lincoln issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation. This document officially freed the slaves in the states that had rebelled against the US government. It probably took some time before the slave-owners actually left them go. Slaves in the states that were loyal to the Union were not set free by this proclamation but were freed at various times by action of the various state legislatures.
Slavery ended in the US and was officially abolished under the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified in 1865. Unfortunately, this left most freed slaves without employment or sustenance, and many became sharecroppers on the former plantations.
The Proclamation only freed slaves in territory then in rebellion. Slavery remained legal in territory recaptured from the Confederacy prior to the Proclamation, and in states that never left the Union, such as Maryland and Kentucky. The 13th Amendment applies to all the US, thus eliminating the impact of court decisions such as the Dread Scott Decision. In addition to abolishing slavery in the entire country it explicitly conferred citizenship rights on all former slaves, something the Proclamation did not address.
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
He was not inaugurated till 1861, and his first action was to keep the Northern slave-states from joining the Confederacy. He had to be diplomatic with these states, and certainly wasn't about to offend them by freeing their slaves. Even when he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, he left these states out of the provisions. Remember that Lincoln was not passionately anti-slavery. Like most Northerners, he was mainly against the extension of slavery into the new territories, and it was his refusal to agree to this that sparked the war.
It helped the slaves be free. Most of them had freedom. Not in all states, though, but for those that were, they left and went to do the things that were aproved to do. Most Black slaves weren't able to attend to the Army forces, only whites, however, most went into it because they could.
A freed slave in Rome was called libertus (freedman). There were scores of freedmen as the Romans were in the habit of freeing many of their slaves. Over time, given the number of slaves which were brought to Rome and that many Romans left the city, most of the population of the city of Rome were freedmen or their descendants.
George Washington was known to buy slaves and then free them.uhmmm actually he didn't let his slaves free until his death.
