January 1, 1863 was the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln, stating the slaves were free. The 13th Amendment, added to the US Constitution in 1865, would actually give the force of law to the freedom for the slaves that Lincolns document put forth.

The emancipation proclamation only freed the slaves in the CSA. It’s false to claim it freed all slaves on USA & CSA.
