That was the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared Southern slaves to be 'thenceforward and forever free', but only in the states that Lincoln did not control! (He allowed slavery to continue in the four slave-states that had remained loyal.) Lincoln was not actually deciding to free the slaves. He was making it look like that, so that free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

It applied to slaves in the states that were in rebellion (where, of course, Lincoln had no authority at that time). It did not apply to slaves in the four slave-states that had remained loyal.

It was really aimed at Britain and France, to keep them from aiding the Confederates.

The Emancipation Proclamation the emancipation proclamation. it was signed on 9/22 in some year in the past The Emancipation Proclamation states simply that all black slaves should be free.

What do you think would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had waited until after the civil war to issue the emancipation proclamation?
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
What wartime act by Abraham Lincoln freed those slave living in rebellious states?
