Sherman wouldn't let blacks in his army, let alone his household.

Slavery was outlawed throughout the United States on 12/6/65 with the passage of the 13th amendment.

Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]
