Did the Emancipation Proclamation offer to let the slave states back in the union?

No, it stated that all slaves held in the rebellious states were emancipated (freed) from their plantations. Of course, since the states were in rebellion, it did not help the slaves all that much. However, since Lincoln was smart, he did not want to emancipate slaves in the border slave states that had not yet seceded from the Union, knowing that if he did, they would leave. This would take much of the supplies and much needed population that they would require for the war. It was merely a document written to let the South know that once the Union gained control again, they meant business; slavery was out of the question. For good.

Where was the Emancipation Proclamation applied to slaves?
The Emancipation Proclamation was very carefully worded to not free anyone anywhere at the time of its writing!The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves inside states in rebellion (i.e. Confederacy) and not controlled by Union troops. These states obviously ignored the Emancipation Proclamation and did not free any slaves. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was written Union troops did not control any of those states.The Emancipation Proclamation explicitly permitted states that had stayed in the Union to keep their slaves. This was because if the Emancipation Proclamation freed such slaves then these states would probably leave the Union and join the Confederacy. Lincoln could not afford to have that happen!In fact the Emancipation Proclamation was a Propaganda document to encourage European support for the Union, and it was not expected to have any effect on either slave masters or enslaved people.Actually freeing the enslaved people would have to wait until after the war.
