It worked in that it provided a symbolic gesture. As written, it applied only to those regions that were AT THAT TIME in rebellion against the Union.

Who specifically would be 'thenceforward forever free?
Assuming this is about the Emancipation Proclamation: Technically, no one. When Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation, it "freed" the slaves of the Confederacy, composed of rebellious states that had seceded from the Union. However, because they were no longer part of the Union and under Lincoln's leadership, the Proclamation technically had no effect on them at all. He also excluded the border slave states that were still part of the Union from the Proclamation because, if they were to secede in retaliation, the Union would be destroyed. Lincoln knew all of this, and so he made the Emancipation Proclamation as more of a symbolic move than an actual law.

It free no slaves. It improved nobody's rights. It explicitly did not free slaves in Union states (Lincoln did not want to risk them seceding too) and implicitly did not free slaves in Confederate states, as the Union had no power there.
