Was slavery only legal in the south?
Slavery was legal in all parts of the United States until the Emancipation Proclamation of 1865.

To answer this more directly, slavery was illegal after 1865, but it would take the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to completely make any practice of slavery and racism illegal in the eyes of the law--nearly 100 years after it was supposedly declared illegal.
