The Constitution when it was originally ratified did not outlaw Slavery. In 1863 the Emancipation Proclamation decreed that all slaves in rebel territory (confederate states) were free on January 1, 1863. The official removal of slavery though came from the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.
