No. It did not abolish slavery anywhere except in places beyond the control of the Union Army (which meant that de facto, nobody was emancipated). The Emancipation Proclamation was made primarily to prevent France and the United Kingdom from siding with the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The Union knew that fighting alongside a country supporting slavery against an anti-slavery country would be untenable for both of those countries.
