The free-soil North won against the slave-owning Confederacy.

However, there were four slave-owning states on the Northern side, and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free those slaves.

This confirms that the Proclamation was not really to do with Abolitonism. It was an urgent tactical measure to keep the British from supporting the Confederates, because it would have made them look pro-slavery.
