From a legal standpoint, racism (and discrimination base on it) theoretically ended with the enactments of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution immediately after the Civil War.
However, there were significant "end-runs" around the strictures laid out in these amendments, such that practical legal discrimination by race continued up until the 1960s, when, at the conclusion of the Civil Rights Movement, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (coupled with several major Supreme Court decisions, the biggest of which was Brown v Board of Education) outlawed any form of legal racism or discrimination in the United States.
So, legal racism no longer exists in the United States. While some may argue about the "reverse racism" of Affirmative Action policies, legally speaking, the U.S. is now no longer racist.
However, racism happens not just in public or legal frameworks. It also happens in the actions of individuals, in the myriad of ways they interact with eachother. Unfortunately, in this respect, there are still a significant number of people who hold racist views. And, it is unlikely that we will be able to eliminate racial bias anytime soon (which, is a mild form of racism), as racial bias seems ingrained at an almost instinctual level in human beings.
It has not ended in America nor has it ended in the rest of the known world.

During the years 1619-1865 how successful was North America in liberating from racism and slavery?
Between 1619 and 1865 (or, between the first formal appearance of slaves in North America and the final conquest of the slave-holding American South, including follow-up legislation for emancipation), North America was very successful in its liberation-efforts regarding slavery; however, it was profoundly unsuccessful in respect to eradicating racism. By the end of 1865, slavery as an official institution disappeared in North America. Racism, unfortunately, would live on in many different ways in both the North and the South of America.
