It only freed those slaves that were still in the Union from States who had not separated from the Union. It, unlike popular belief, did not actually "free" the majority of the slaves, as they were part of the Confederate which, at that time, was a separate governmental body so the Union had no effect on them whatsoever. The slaves were only freed after the Union won the Civil War and slavery was outlawed.
