Yes. He'd been waiting all summer (1862) for a Northern victory that would enable him to make the announcement without making it sound like a desperate measure. A few days after the unexpected Northern vistory at Antietam, he issued the Proclamation, to be effective from January 1st 1863.

President Lincoln wrote and issues the Emancipation Proclamation, which was a set of two executive orders. The second portion or second executive order found in the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in those Southern States, which had not returned to the Union by January 1, 1863. So slaves were "technically" freed in the Southern States, still in rebellion from the Union, as of January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation did not address the status of slaves in Missouri, or the border states, thus slavery was still legal in these areas until the 13th Amendment was passed and ratified by 3/4s of all of the states. This occurred on December 6,1865.
