The effectiveness of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was limited by several expectations, including the belief that it would not be enforced in Confederate-held territories and the skepticism regarding its immediate impact on slavery. Many enslaved individuals remained uncertain about their newfound freedom, as Union forces were not present in all areas to enforce the proclamation. Additionally, some in the North viewed it as a politically motivated act rather than a genuine commitment to abolition, which undermined its moral authority and immediate influence.
ur mother!
There were more than two limitations concerning President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.One clear cut limit was the fact that slavery in the Border states were not effected by the Proclamation. Also, the Proclamation could not be enforced in the Confederate states.

Lincoln and SlaveryAbraham Lincoln had always opposed slavery, but never sided with abolitionists who called for its immediate end. He sought solutions that would make slavery gradually fade from white society-limit its location, sponsor compensation programs for slave owners, and relocate freed blacks outside the country. The war made these gradual solutions woefully inadequate.On the advice of his cabinet, Lincoln waited for a Union victory before announcing his decision. Without a victory, they feared the proclamation would only appear as a meaningless act of an embattled government. On September 22, 1862, five days after Union troops defeated Robert E. Lee's advance at the Battle of Antietam, Lincoln released the proclamation.
The Proclamation of 1763 was designed to limit British Colonial settlement to the east of the Appalachian Mountains in order to prevent conflict between the Colonists and the Native American population. The Colonists were enraged since they believed that they had a legitimate right to expand into that territory.

The proclamation line
The shortcomings of the Proclamation fall in two parts. It's language was measured as a blow against an enemy. Slaves, (chattel) were freed in the "rebelling states" but not in the border slave states that sided with the Union. Secondly, not fighting the Civil War to end slavery but to "Preserve the Union" Lincoln's proclamation is seen more as a military strategy to limit the economic viability of the enemy and foment rebellions among the slaves of the South seeking freedom. Not until the 13th Amendment, after Lincoln's death, was slavery abolished.
