President Abraham Lincoln freed slaves in rebellious areas of the US in 1863. All other slaves had been freed in the North.

That would mean slaves in the Border states - slave-states that had voted against joining the Confederacy. Those people would have to remain slaves until the war was won, as Lincoln did not want to upset powerful slave-owners in these crucially important states.

Well Lincoln said all slaves in the SOUTH were free and northern border states still had slaves. and its not like it worked. Its like Mexico saying every Latino prisoner is free to go in the US the us wont listen Lincoln only used it for rebellion causes.
Did Abraham Lincoln see the abolition of slavery as the major goal of the Civil War?
No. Lincoln detested slavery, but did nothing about it; his sole goal was to preserve the union. He believed that ANYTHING that would preserve the union and prevent the confederacy from seceding was proper to do. Lincoln himself wrote that if he could preserve the union by freeing all the slaves, he would do so; if he could preserve the union by not freeing ANY slaves he would do so, and that if he could preserve the union by freeing some slaves and not freeing others, he would do THAT. Which is what he did. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves within the Confederacy; it did not free any slaves within the areas controlled by the North.
What states in the US Civil War did not join the Confederacy but had slaves?
The so-called border states of Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware retained their slaves during the US Civil War and did not join the Confederacy. If they had, the chances for a successful war for secession by the South would have increased dramatically. During the US Civil War, President Lincoln attempted to present gradual plans to reduce then end slavery in the so-called border states.
