Some 150 years since Abraham Lincoln outlawed slavery in the U.S., a collection of rare Civil War-era photographs have been brought to life through painstaking colorization. February 1 marks National Freedom Day, honoring the signing by President Lincoln of a resolution which became the 13th Amendment to the Constitution and abolished slavery. The photographs, seen here, depict the battle-weary men who fought in the bloody conflict between 1861 and 1865, either for the survival of the Union or a strike out into independence for the Confederates.

President Abraham Lincoln did not outlaw slavery in the U.S. He proclaimed the slaves to be free in those parts of the Confederate States not under Union control. Exempt were the parts under Union control and all of Tennessee. Slavery in the Union states, such as Delaware, was unaffected. Proclaimed as a war measure against the other belligerent party, when the war ended the Emancipation Proclamation had no further legal effect. The 13th Amendment freed the slaves in the U.S. under President Andrew Johnson. Not until the 13th Amendment did slavery end in the Union states, i.e., the United States.
