I know enough it was definitely A, H, J, and L. I think.
1. Many northern states outlawed it mostly by adopting gradual emancipation laws, some as early as the 1780s 2.In 1862 Congress passed & Lincoln signed legislation ending slavery in the District of Columbia and providing for federal financial remuneration to slave owners 3.The Emancipation Proclamation, not legislation, but an Executive order by Lincoln, first announced on Sept 22, 1862, and finally put into effect beginning January 1, 1863, declared immediately free ALL slaves in states or parts of states then in rebellion most of the Confederacy. This was gradually carried out over the next two years as Union armies took control of Confederate territory 4.The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution - proposed by Congress in January 1865, ratified by enough states to go into effect by December 1865 - finally made slavery illegal throughout the United States put 4) The 13th amendment to the Constitution (proposed by the U.S. Congress in January 1865, successfully ratified by enough states by December 1865), finally made slavery illegal in ALL states.
Thanks so much Surana and Darren! I thought the answer was either one of the amendments or the Jim Crow Laws.
