the slaves were not freed from the emancipation proclomation. the emancipation proclomation had no effect because President Lincoln has no authroity over what happens in the confederate staes and the border states. they didn't become free until some time after the civil war ended.

About 1660 the first known slaves arrived in Maryland until by 1810 its slave population exceeded 111,000 and Slavery only ended in Maryland after the Civil War was over and the 13th Amendment to the Constitution became the law of the land on 6 December 1865.
