THE PROCESS OF CONCRETIZING THE DECLARATION OF SLAVERY EMANCIPATION IN AMERICA (1863- 1877)

Abstract

Studying America’s contemporary history, most historians have recognized that the slavery system ended when the Declaration of Slavery Emancipation was introduced (1863) or when the Civil War ended (1861-1865). Through the approached documentaries, it is believed that the above mentioned time has not fully reflected the truth of slavery, and the slavery liberation in American in the periods of Post-Civil War and Reconstruction. Therefore, this paper reaffirms three points: The first point is confirming the real time of ending slavery in America; second is the policies of America on slavery and the third point is the impacts of the process of implementing the Declaration of Slavery Emancipation on America from the Post-Civil War to Reconstruction period.
