It deprived the Southern enemy of his property, and made it impossible for Britain to help the Confederates without looking pro-slavery.
Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina all stayed in the Union after the mass exodus of southern states. Once Lincoln ordered all Union states to gather together troops to help fight the Confederacy, the four chose to leave the Union instead of raising arms against their "Southern Brothers" as they called it!
The busiest port cities were Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Their locations help explain their growth because they we're looking for fertile soil to start new plantations.
You mean "Did the Union armies free most of the slaves in the Confederacy during their Southern campaigns?" Not as many as that. But they did manage to deprive a lot of farmers of their labour force.
As union troops moved through the south they provided help and safety for the slaves. There was one indecent where slaves were behind Union lines and southern soliders wanted the slaves returned to them. In war when there is contraband the side that has it is allowed to keep it, so the union officer told the southern officer the slaves were contraband and couldn't be returned. From that point on all former slaves who sought refuge with union troops were called contraband. I think this explains the response of the Union soldiers to the proclamation.
