Reparations for slavery is the idea that some form of compensatory payment needs to be made to the descendants of Africans trafficked to and enslaved in the Americas as a consequence of the Atlantic slave trade . The most notable demands for reparations have been made in the United Kingdom and the United States . These reparations are speculative; that is, they have never been paid.
The 13th Amendment was ratifed in December of 1865 freeing all
slaves in the United States of America.
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 was a
powerful move that promised freedom for slaves in the Confederacy
as soon as the Union armies reached them, and authorized the
enlistment of African Americans in the Union Army.
The Emancipation
Proclamation did not free slaves in the Union-allied slave-holding
states that bordered the Confederacy. Since the Confederate States
did not recognize the authority of President Lincoln, and the
proclamation did not apply in the border states, at first the
proclamation freed only slaves who had escaped behind Union lines.
Still, the proclamation made the abolition of slavery an official
war goal that was implemented as the Union took territory from the
Confederacy. According to the Census of 1860, this policy would
free nearly four million slaves, or over 12% of the total
population of the United States.
There still were over 250,000
slaves in Texas. Word did not reach Texas about the collapse of the
Confederacy until June 19, 1865. Blacks and others
celebrate that day as Juneteenth, the day of freedom, in Texas,
Oklahoma and some other states. It commemorates the date when the
news finally reached slaves at Galveston, Texas.
Legally, the last
40,000 or so slaves were freed in Kentucky by the final
ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in
December 1865. Slaves still held in New Jersey, Delaware, West
Virginia, Maryland, Missouri and Washington, D.C. also became
legally free on this date.
