What U.S. war ended slavery?

Official answers

• The Civil War

Why

The North won the Civil War, and slavery ended. The 13th Amendment, added in December 1865, made slavery illegal in the whole United States. Juneteenth, June 19, remembers the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free.
