On Jan. 1, 1863, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared free all slaves residing in territory in rebellion against the federal government. This Emancipation Proclamation actually freed few people. It did not apply to slaves in border states fighting on the Union side; nor did it affect slaves in southern areas already under Union control. Naturally, the states in rebellion did not act on Lincoln's order.
As a correction, the Emancipation Proclamation, enacted by Lincoln in 1863, only freed the slaves in those states that were rebelling. Because the Union only controlled some small portions of the south at the time, only a small number of slaves were immediately freed. Slavery everywhere in the US wasn't abolished until the ratification of the 13th amendment in 1865, and there were still some slaves in the northern states who weren't freed until then.
