The Emancipation Proclamation is an executive order issued by United States President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, during the American Civil War using his war powers. It proclaimed the freedom of 3.1 million of the nation's 4 million slaves, and immediately freed 50,000 of them, with nearly all the rest freed as Union armies advanced. The Proclamation did not compensate the owners; it did not make the ex-slaves, called Freedmen, citizens.For more information visit the Related Link.

No. Emancipation is effective from the date that it's granted (if it's granted, which it rarely is), it cannot be made retroactive.
The Emancipation Proclamation was never a law. It was an executive action used as a war measure in the US Civil War.
