How did the last day of slavery go?

I'll let you know when it happens.

Judging that the Civil War continued on long after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, I don't believe it just ended in the way you are thinking. Plus, modern day slavery still exists in the United States today.

Here' something of interest to read (towards the end of the American Civil War).... How Slavery Really Ended in America :awe:

BTW OP, Slavery still exist outside the USA ....

That first Map is not "(towards the end of the American Civil War)" That map is very inaccurate as an example Missouri entered the Union August 10, 1821 Do your recall the 'Missouri Compromise' where Maine entered the union as a free state and Missouri as a slave state?

The Civil War started in April of 1861 - During the Civil War two states entered the union;, West Virginia which divorced it self from Virginia and permitted slavery with a gradual abolition plan, stayed loyal to the Union and Nevada which entered as a free soil state. Kansas joined the Union in January of 1861 as a free soil, almost three months before the Civil War started. It is shown as a Blue territory on that map. Don't believe everything you find on the internet is peer reviewed.

The territories of Colorado, Dakota, New Mexico, Utah and Washington did not or could mot join the Union, but they fought on the side of the Union. They didn't have the population that warranted becoming a state nor the silver which Nevada had. Nevada cast their three electoral votes for Lincoln in 1864 and proudly adopted the motto "Battle Born" for their evolvement in the Civil War. That, 'all for the union', sentiment was very strong in the west.

Hostilities started April 12, 1861 but several southern states (7 or 6 depending how the delegates authority to represent their state is interpreted) has succeeded or intended to succeed and had formed the Confederacy before Lincoln took office in March. The Republican Party was not against slavery in the south and actually pledged on their platform to uphold southern states slavery. However, included in their platform was the goal of banning the spread of slavery to the territories.

Do you recall the Lincoln-Douglas debates where Lincoln argued Congress had the constitutional right to disallow human bondage in territories, but never the right to establish them while Douglas argued that territories had the same tights as states and were constitutionally allowed to decide for themselves.

When Lincoln prevailed in the election in November of 1860, several states began the process of succession(South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida. Alabama. Georgia, Louisiana and Texas in that order) were in process of some kind of succession before Lincoln took office. The Confederate States of America was formed February 4, 1861. The confederacy fired on Fort Sumter April 12, 1861 bur initially inflected no serious casualties. The first death apparently was in the north at a the Pratt Street Riot a week later. tps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_riot_of_1861)

Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennessee, in that order, joined after hostilities began. While disgruntled delegates from Missouri and Kentucky were accepted later by the Confederacy as representing those states, Maryland, Missouri, Delaware, and Kentucky remained loyal to the Union but permitted slavery and after admittance, so did West Virginia.

To discuss slavery one must know the facts as they were; not always found on the internet where those with an agenda often distort the past to fit their views. It hard to comprehend that while most of the industrialized north was against slavery; most were even more strongly anti-negro. A person could devote their whole life trying to understand the Civil War and not succeed; much less resolve this 'end of slavery' thread.

That first Map is not "(towards the end of the American Civil War)" .

I never indicated that the first map shown was included with the above fore mentioned article. :hmm:
It's a map were slavery was at 1861. Anyone who studied American History would know that the civil war ended April 1865, 6 days before Pres.Lincoln's assassination.

Slavery 1850-1865.

You can deny you wrote that the map was ("towards the end of the civil war") but some people actually will go back and read your post which I quoted in the first paragraph.

The fact that this time you wrote everyone knows the Civil War ended April of 1865 shows me your head is clearly up your posterior. Everyone doesn't know that and no one who knows a hoot about the Civil War would agree with you.

Lee didn't surrender the Confederacy; he surrendered an encircled Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Actual fighting of the Civil war continued several months after Lincoln was assassinated.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army—the next largest after Lee's still at war—was operating in North Carolina. Gen. Johnston surrendered his armies to Sherman at Bennett Place near Durham Station, North Carolina on April 26, 1865.

Lt. Gen. Richard Taylor controlled forces in Alabama, Mississippi, and part of Louisiana. He surrendered May 4th at Citronelle, Alabama.

Mgr. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest had men in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi. Forrest surrendered on May 9, 1865, at Gainesville, Alabama.

Union Col. Theodore Barrett attacked a smaller Confederate force, half his size, commanded by Col. John S. Ford at Palmito Ranch in Texas, May 12, 1865. The overconfident Barrett was soundly defeated in what became the last real engagement of the American Civil War; and the Confedercy won that battle.

Lt. Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith's men were west of the Mississippi. They surrendered May 26th in New Orleans, Lousiana.

Brig. Gen. Stand Watie was in command of an Indian unit in the Far West. Watie surrendered his unit of Confederate Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, and Osage Indians at Doaksville, near Fort Towson in Indian Territory, on June 23. Stand Watie was the last Confederate general to surrender his command.

The last Confederate surrender occurred on November 6, 1865, when Captain James Wadell surrendered the CSS Shenandoah in Liverpool, England. The only Confederate vessel to circumnavigate the globe was surrendered by letter to the British prime minister.

The Confederate States Government, not their defeated Army and Navy, finally conceded and on August 20, 1866 (Over a year and five months after Lee surendered, President Andrew Johnson issued a proclamation formally announcing the end of the Civil War,

If you had bothered to read my post you would note that your map showed Missouri as a Territory when it had been a State for over 40 years.

what if i told you slavery isn't over.

Now they're at Foxconn making iPhones.

There's still slavery. It has just been outsourced to poorer countries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_and_free_states (more maps from 1879-1861)

That first Map is not "(towards the end of the American Civil War)" That map is very inaccurate as an example Missouri entered the Union August 10, 1821.
Do your recall the 'Missouri Compromise' where Maine entered the union as a free state and Missouri as a slave state?

Look at the 1861 map again at see what color Missouri and Maine shows. It clearly shows that Missouri as SLAVE state for at least 40 years. Maine clearly shown as a FREE state.
Where in the map is the inaccuracy you're talking about?
What does the "Missouri Compromise" which happened at 1820 have anything to do with a 1861 map?

Again, read that I wrote "Anyone who studied American History". I did not write "everyone"." I hope you still know what the difference between "anyone" and everyone".
Clearly you're stating facts that "everyone" does not know.

When did the civil war end? Where did the civil war end? How did the civil war end?
The most often cited official date of the end of the civil war is April 9, 1865 when General Robert E Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at the McLean House in the village of Appomattox Court House. There were battles and skirmishes after this date, but this is generally considered the official end of the civil war.

You all have it wrong . The last day of slavery is when you do a forward half gainer off the roof of the FoxConn building .
