No. The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln, declared all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states free. This did no good because the confederate states were not in Lincoln's control at the time. This document said nothing about the UNION slaves, though.

Of course, however, all slaves were freed with the passing of the 13th Amendment, which I believe came after the Civil War ended in 1865.
The confederate states think that there should no longer be slaves.
