In the south, white reacted to the proclamation with rage.

No, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all the enslaved persons. Only the slaves in the "rebellious states" were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. The "rebellious states" were those which had seceded from the Union, except for the states that had already come under Northern control.
The Emancipation Proclamation did not enfranchise the slaves in the northern territories.
He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended all slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation only ended slavery in the states that were part of the Confederacy, not in the border states that fought with the northern states in the civil war.
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." Despite this expansive wording, the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory. Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it fundamentally transformed the character of the war. After January 1, 1863, every advance of federal troops expanded the domain of freedom. Moreover, the Proclamation announced the acceptance of black men into the Union Army and Navy, enabling the liberated to become liberators. By the end of the war, almost 200,000 black soldiers and sailors had fought for the Union and freedom.
because the north was against slavery so he waited till they won to anounce to the south the emancipation proclamation
I think he issued the Emancipation Proclamation because he wanted to free all African Americans in the South.
When Lincoln announced the emancipation proclamation, some of the slaves were free which then aided the union army to end the war.

The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
