Abraham Lincoln, as President of the United States, officially freed all slaves existing in the Confederate states in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation. Note that slavery was still legal in the Border states, a measure he adopted to keep these vital states between the Confederate states and and Washington DC. Despite its limitations, the proclamation did much to bolster the morale of Union troops. In actuality, slaves weren't truly free until the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution which abolished slavery in the United States once and for all.
