It only freed slaves in the Confederacy.

Slavery, but only within the Confederacy. The Emancipation Proclamation didn't affect slaves in Union states. (But there weren't many slaves in Union states.)
The Emancipation Proclamation was very carefully worded to not free anyone anywhere at the time of its writing!The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves inside states in rebellion (i.e. Confederacy) and not controlled by Union troops. These states obviously ignored the Emancipation Proclamation and did not free any slaves. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was written Union troops did not control any of those states.The Emancipation Proclamation explicitly permitted states that had stayed in the Union to keep their slaves. This was because if the Emancipation Proclamation freed such slaves then these states would probably leave the Union and join the Confederacy. Lincoln could not afford to have that happen!In fact the Emancipation Proclamation was a Propaganda document to encourage European support for the Union, and it was not expected to have any effect on either slave masters or enslaved people.Actually freeing the enslaved people would have to wait until after the war.
The main goal of the union was to preserve the union, until the emancipation proclamation changed the reason of the war to slavery.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in the Confederacy as a strategic war move; it did not free slaves in key border states, such as Maryland and Virginia, where some slaves worked for the Union army. freed most slaves inthe confederacy NOVANET
US President Lincoln issued his final emancipation proclamation in January of 1863. The proclamation decreed that slaves in the Confederate States were free. It had no immediate affect in that most of the slaves in the Confederacy, remained under the control of their "owners".
Assuming this is about the Emancipation Proclamation: Technically, no one. When Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation, it "freed" the slaves of the Confederacy, composed of rebellious states that had seceded from the Union. However, because they were no longer part of the Union and under Lincoln's leadership, the Proclamation technically had no effect on them at all. He also excluded the border slave states that were still part of the Union from the Proclamation because, if they were to secede in retaliation, the Union would be destroyed. Lincoln knew all of this, and so he made the Emancipation Proclamation as more of a symbolic move than an actual law.
