Best Answer

After the emancipation proclamation of 1876 by President Abraham Lincoln, all southern states were ordered to release their slaves while border states were allowed to keep slavery. Because the Civil War was a ongoing, and the south had succeded the union, slaves were not released until after the civil war.
