| - Slavery existed as an institution in the United States from before the country's founding in 1776 until its prohibition by the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865. In the New World in the 17th through 19th centuries, black people were owned as property and forced to labor without compensation on their owners' plantations. It was introduced into British North America in 1619 and remained legal after the American Revolution. It was banned state by state in the Northern states and became a major divisive issue between Northern and Southern states throughout the first half of 19th century. When Abraham Lincoln, an opponent of slavery, was elected President in 1860, a number of slave states responded by seceding from the Union, forming the Confederate States, and starting the American Civil War. The war ended in 1865, with the abolition of slavery being a consequence. The foregoing is true in most of Harry Turtledove's timelines with a Point of Divergence after 1865. This article is for the institution of slavery in the U.S. and its analogs, and/or the Confederate States. For slavery in other places and timelines, see the main slavery article.
