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.
With the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution on December 18, 1865. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in Union-occupied areas of the Confederacy, but it did not free slaves in Union states where slavery was still legal.resident Lincoln did not abolish slavery in North America. it was a punishment to the southern States for trying to leave the Union. I personally do not believe slavery was totally abolished in North America. it is not legal but it survives.
