Slavery was abolished in 1865. The Emancipation Proclamation also would have applied since slaves under Confederate authority were declared free in 1863, so he would have been freed by Union soldiers during the occupation of South Carolina by 1865.

I was thinking about the fact that many slaves weren't necessarily freed after the EP, however, the occupation failed to cross my mind. Thanks for that.
