Lincoln threatened to free the slaves as a way to leverage the Confederacy into rejoining the Union. The Confederates refused. Lincoln followed through on his threat.

Last person that answered this question: Dont answer questions that you ont know the answer to okay!The answer is.........Basically,a piece of paper saying that everyone has equal right ,whites,blacks,Mexicans..ect..The Emancipation Proclamation was only Propaganda to discourage European powers from assisting the Confederacy. It free no slaves. It improved nobody's rights. It explicitly did not free slaves in Union states (Lincoln did not want to risk them seceding too) and implicitly did not free slaves in Confederate states, as the Union had no power there.
