No. Some citizens in the border states (e.g. Kentucky, West Virginia) that sided with the North owned slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in "still in rebellion" southern areas of the time. Yet, as obviously seen today, slavery in these states died out.

African American slavery in the South was put to a stop largely by Civil War events and an amendment to the Constitution. But keep in mind that the Civil War did not stop slavery permanently. Worldwide- the US included- slavery still goes in various forms and it effects Africans and other ethnic groups as well. Today's modern slavery relies heavily on human trafficking in many cases.

So, the Civil War in direct and indirect ways did lead (or contribute) to the end of the plantation slave era in the American South. It did not end the general slavery that still goes on (on a small scale) in the United States today.
