The answer is both yes and no. The Emancipation Proclamation was a strategic move by Lincoln to break the slave-driven economy by the south, enacted after the devastating draw at the Battle of "Bloody" Antietam (near Sharpsburg, Maryland, September 17, 1862)
The Emancipation Proclamation, dated September 22, 1862 (to take effect on January 1, 1863) would release the slaves in ONLY the thirteen Confederate states in open rebellion; slavery would still be legal in the Union "border" states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865.
