The shortcomings of the Proclamation fall in two parts. It's language was measured as a blow against an enemy. Slaves, (chattel) were freed in the "rebelling states" but not in the border slave states that sided with the Union. Secondly, not fighting the Civil War to end slavery but to "Preserve the Union" Lincoln's proclamation is seen more as a military strategy to limit the economic viability of the enemy and foment rebellions among the slaves of the South seeking freedom. Not until the 13th Amendment, after Lincoln's death, was slavery abolished.
