The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declaring that all slaves in Confederate-controlled areas were to be set free. While this did not immediately end slavery in the entire country, it was a significant step towards its eventual abolition. Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local laws that enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans in the South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and had nothing to do with the abolition of slavery. The Bill of Rights was added to the U.S. Constitution in 1791, long before the issue of slavery was fully addressed, and did not abolish slavery. There have been several important decisions made by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding slavery and civil rights, but none of them directly led to the abolition of slavery in 1863.
