What states did Abraham Lincoln free of slavery?
Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the Southern states. The Emancipation proclamation announced that the slaves were officially and legally free. Although the Emancipation Proclamation declared Slaves of the Confederacy "Freed", it had no authority and did not free any slaves unless they made it to the North from the Confederacy. Lincoln's Abolitionist philosophy was alive and well in both the Union and the Confederacy at the time he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Through that edict Lincoln was able to offer a "kick start" to the movement and encourage the formation of "Underground Railroads" by Southern Abolitionist to assist escaping slaves.

Why was the emancipation proclamation writeb?
The Emancipation Proclamation, which stated that all slaves in the areas revolting (that is, it didn't include the slave states, like Maryland, that were loyal to the Union) were to be set free. Of course, being in rebellion, the states of the Confederacy didn't follow this, though it was enforced by the Union Army as they went through the South. Because there was little the federal government could do about it, it did nothing- that is, except deny the Confederacy outside help. The Confederate states were, at that time, courting an alliance with Britain or France, both of which had outlawed slavery a while back. Because of the Emancipation Proclamation, Britain and France, who were a fan of the South's cotton but not how it was produced, were rudely reminded that their potential ally still practiced slavery; as a result, they withdrew any possibility of support, and the Confederacy continued to struggle with funding.
