The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the Southern states, who already broke off from the union. This meant that President Lincoln had no control over whethere these slaves would be free or not. But once a Southern town or area was freed by Union soldiers, the slaves would be free. This caused help for the Union army from former slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation went into effect January 1, 1863.

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. And yes, there were still slaves within the Union. Some of the border states still practiced slavery.
Did the emancipation proclamation apply to the entire US?
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".)
