No. It only freed slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately. (Mostly, those that had been captured by Union troops and were being held as "enemy contraband".)
Who did the emancipation proclamation promise to free?
Lincoln did not "proclaim" the freedom of all slaves in America; only the slaves in the Confederacy. The theory was to attempt to cripple the South economically if the slaves were to revolt. Obviously, he didn't actually have any power over the Confederacy, so the speech was purely symbolical, and was intended to boost morale among Union troops.
