The speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln when slavery was officially brought to an end is typically associated with the **Emancipation Proclamation**, which he issued on January 1, 1863. However, it is important to note that the formal end to slavery in the United States was marked by the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865. While the Emancipation Proclamation declared the freedom of slaves in Confederate-held territory, it did not immediately end slavery everywhere.
If you are specifically referring to a speech addressing the final end of slavery, Lincoln's **Second Inaugural Address** (delivered on March 4, 1865) is often noted for its themes regarding slavery and reconciliation, but the actual legal end to slavery happened with the 13th Amendment.
