the civil war didnt free the slaves.....

and that was our own mess we caused for ourselves, so technically it didnt solve anything we didnt create

Ok, legally the EMancipation Proclaimation freed the slaves in 1863. BUT after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865, they had to accept the Union's laws and one of them were that slavery was banned.

The emancipation proclimation was worthless, it freed americans, but the slaves were not considered citizens, so it did nothing for them, it was more like a symbol than anything else

Without the Emancipation Proclamation the 13th, 14th and 15th admendments to the Constitution of the United States would never have been passed. The Civil war decided the fate of slavery, thus freeing the slaves from forced servitude. Jim Crow laws did follow and reduced blacks to second class citizens in many southern states, however, they were free citizens of the United States because of the Civil War, the E.P. and the passage of those three admendments.
