In the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln follows the conventions of a proclamation by formally declaring a specific policy and outlining its intent to free enslaved individuals in the Confederate states. He employs authoritative language and a clear, direct tone to assert the power of the executive branch in wartime. Additionally, the document includes a specific date for implementation and appeals to moral and political principles, reinforcing its significance as a transformative wartime measure.
The Emancipation Proclamation was exactly, precisely, what the Confederacy did not want to happen with regard to the issue of slavery. Why on Earth would they stop fighting because of it? Also, slavery was really only one of the issues underlying the War of Northern Aggression (admittedly, it was a pretty big one).
The Confederacy (areas at conflict with the Union). In all Confederate territories the Union had already conquered or was going to conquer.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves in the Confederate states. "...all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States" This was further clarified to be: "... the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit: Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued." To summarize - All slaves in Confederate states not then under control of the Union (which is why several parishes of Louisiana and several counties of Virginia were exempted including the portions of Virginia which were in the process of becoming West Virginia). Note that while Tennessee was a Confederate state, it was under Union control and thus not counted as being in rebellion - thus any slaves there had to wait for further state and federal actions before they were freed.

Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the Emancipation Proclamation in two parts. The first, on September 22, 1862 said that slaves in states in rebellion would be freed unless the states returned to the Union by January 1, 1863. It had no immediate effect, since slaves in Union states weren't freed and the Union had no control over Confederate states. The second part, issued on January 1, 1863, named the states still in rebellion to whom the proclamation applied. The listed areas and exceptions were:Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. Johns, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South-Carolina, North-Carolina, and Virginia, (except the fortyeight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth-City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued.Although it had no immediate effect other than to get some border states and part of Virginia (which became West Virginia) to proclaim loyalty to the Union so that they could keep their slaves, slaves were freed in areas conquered by the Union army. In each place conquered, the army announced to slaves that they had been freed due to the Emancipation Proclamation.Fighting continued until Spring of 1865, when the last battles of the Civil War took place. When General McClellan landed his forces at Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, the announcement that the slaves had been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation was made for the last time, two years and five months after the proclamation's effective date. This is the origin of the Juneteenth celebration. Of course news of the Emancipation Proclamation had preceded this by quite some time, and most slaves had known about it but been unable, due to circumstances to take advantage of it, being held in Confederate states.At this time slavery was still legal in the United States. On January 31, 1865 Congress had passed the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America proposing that slavery and involuntary servitude be illegal except as punishment for crime.At the time of the amendment there were thirty-six states, so for the required three/fourths majority they needed twenty-seven states to ratify the amendment. This happened on December 6, 1865, when Georgia was the twenty-seventh state to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, finally ending slavery in the United States of America.Eventually all the rest of the thirty-six states of that time ratified the Thirteenth Amendment. Notable late-comers were Kentucky who ratified on March 18, 1976, and Mississippi who made it unanimous when the state ratified on March 16, 1995, one hundred thirty years after the Thirteenth Amendment took effect. The fourteen states which joined the United States subsequently, inherited the Constitution as it existed on the date of statehood, and didn't get to ratify amendments which preceded their entry into 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).

The emancipation proclamation was used by Lincoln as an instrument of war. He raised his military to invade the South to put down what he called a rebellion, which in reality was a lawful War of Independence. The war was not about slavery, Lincoln did not care about slaves, by his own admission in his writings. He wrote this illegal document, not Congress. this is the Emancipation proclamation. it's very long! Whereas, on the twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, a proclamation was issued by the President of the United States, containing, among other things, the following, to wit: "That on the first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty- three, all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the Executive Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom. "That the Executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people thereof, respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof, shall on that day be, in good faith, represented in the Congress of the United States by members chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State, and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States." Now, therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion, do, on this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and in accordance with my purpose so to do publicly proclaimed for the full period of one hundred days, from the day first above mentioned, order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States, the following, to wit: Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, (except the Parishes of St. Bernard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St. John, St. Charles, St. James Ascension, Assumption, Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St. Martin, and Orleans, including the City of New Orleans) Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia, (except the forty-eight counties designated as West Virginia, and also the counties of Berkley, Accomac, Northampton, Elizabeth City, York, Princess Ann, and Norfolk, including the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth[)], and which excepted parts, are for the present, left precisely as if this proclamation were not issued. And by virtue of the power, and for the purpose aforesaid, I do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free; and that the Executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons.And I hereby enjoin upon the people so declared to be free to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defence; and I recommend to them that, in all cases when allowed, they labor faithfully for reasonable wages. And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service. And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, warranted by the Constitution, upon military necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this first day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the eighty-seventh. By the President: ABRAHAM LINCOLN WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.
