Did the emancipation proclamation declare that the south could be freed from its ties to the union?
No, quite the contrary. The American Civil War was fought precisely because the US government was not willing to allow the south to be freed from its ties to the Union. The Emancipation Proclamation declared an end to slavery in America (although, as is often pointed out, legally slavery did not end until it was abolished by means of a constitutional amendment; the President does not have the legal power to alter the constitution merely by making a proclamation).
What was the document that freed slaves during the civil war?
Emancipation proclamation. Also note that it required a constitutional amendment, after the war, to legally free the slaves. The President does not actually have the power to alter the constitution by proclamation alone, and the original constitution did allow slavery.
