The Emancipation Proclamation is the proclamation by President Lincoln that effectively ended slavery in the United States.
It only proclaims freedom for those slaves in areas the North didn't already control. Lincoln declared that the slaves he couldn't reach were free, but the slaves he could actually have reached and helped were supposed to remain slaves.
Some slave states, Maryland and Missouri, for example, never joined the Confederacy, and the Emancipation Proclamation didn't officially end slavery there. However, once the Proclamation came out, slavery and its supporters fell apart even in those areas where the Proclamation didn't, officially, have any effect.
