That was the end of slavery in the Confederate States of America, a nation that was not the United States.
Texas, the last state to get full word of the victory of the United States over the Confederate States, was the site of the last freeing of slaves under the Emancipation Proclamation. Many who are not well-read in history believe that the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the United States. Not at all, the United States was specifically exempted from that proclamation.
New Jersey finally banned slavery on January 23, 1866, well after the passage of the post-Civil War amendments.
The War Between the States was not that of a slave-holding nation attacking a slavery opposing nation. It was one slave nation invading another slave nation. If you want to be angry about a slave-holding nation rebelling against an anti-slavery nation, you will be closer to the mark by opposing the Texas Revolution.
