Did the Emancipation proclamation declared that all enslaved people were free?
No. The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln, declared all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states free. This did no good because the confederate states were not in Lincoln's control at the time. This document said nothing about the UNION slaves, though. A couple of the states fighting on Lincoln's side still had slaves, and the emancipation proclamation did not set them free.

Were slaves still slaves after the American Revolution?
Yes. And US President George Washington signed the Fugitive Slave Act in 1793. Although it happened rarely, some slaveholders freed their slaves to become soldiers in the Continental Army. At the time of George Washington's death, he still owned some 300 slaves. These were to be freed upon Martha's death, but she set George's personally-owned slaves free in 1800.
What if the slaves were never freed?
Then most African Americans would still be slaves, and Barack Obama would not likely be our president. It's improbable that the slaves would never have been freed, because Northern abolitionists were so passionate about it they would have continued fighting until slavery was ended.
