Best Answer

Slavery was abolished by means of a constitutional amendment, immediately following the civil war. Since most of the former slaves had by that point escaped from their former owners and joined forces with the north, it was clear that slavery was no longer a viable option. You could not practically re-enslave someone who was a Civil War veteran and still had his gun.
