One might ask you the same question.
WHEN DID SLAVERY REALLY END IN THE UNITED STATES?
You said slavery was abolished in 1866. Slavery in the United States was abolished when the 13th Amendment took effect in December 1865. The Constitution and U.S. law did not apply to recognized Indian nations such as the Creek, which is why a treaty was required to get the Creek to free their remaining slaves.
No need when I'm right - which I am.

Slavery was not legally abolished in the United States until 1866. You can try to weasel all you like but that FACT is indisputable.
