The correct answer is **B enslavement ending in the South**. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared that all enslaved people in the Confederate states were to be set free. While it did not immediately end slavery throughout the United States, it was a significant step toward the abolition of slavery, which would be fully realized with the 13th Amendment in 1865.
