That was the Emancipation Proclamation (issued Sept. 1862, effective Jan. 1863).
He had no actual powers over the Confederate states, but he was able to order his own troops to liberate slaves wherever they found them.
Unless the South were to win the war, these slaves could never be returned to their one-time owners. So this did have the effect of ending slavery.
