Lincoln's strategy for keeping the border states in the Union was threefold. One: He wished to preserve or establish loyal governments in the border states. Two: He wanted the states to foster loyalty among citizens and for the states to support the war effort. Three: He wanted to minimize military occupation of these states.

slaves in confederate states to be free
Established the thirty-first parallel as the border between the United States and Spanish West Florida.

Keeping the four border states loyal. These were the slave-states that had narrowly voted against joining the Confederacy. But there was still a lot of pro-Southern feeling there.
One purpose of the Proclamation was to prevent England and France from recognizing the Confederate States and intervening on their behalf. It also acted as an incentive, albeit a weak one, for states to rejoin the Union before the January 1, 1863 deadline. It mostly reassured the slave-holding boarder states still in the Union that only the slaves in rebel states would be affected.
There are NO states without a border.
Slavery and the secession of the Southern States
The purpose was propaganda- to generate political support. The results- really very little. It only freed slaves in areas that were- AT THAT MOEMENT- in rebellion against the US. If they were in rebellion, they were not going to comply with ANY proclamation from Washington. It did NOT free slaves in the Union states (Yes, there were slaves in some Union states)
Border States refer to the slave states that remained loyal to the Union during the American Civil War. These states included Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri. They were strategically important because of their geographical location between the North and South.
