Lincoln didn't expect it to end the war, though he was hoping that some of the Southern states would abolish slavery in response to it. The main object was to keep Britain and France from aiding the Confederates, for fear of looking pro-slavery themselves.

As union troops moved through the south they provided help and safety for the slaves. There was one indecent where slaves were behind Union lines and southern soliders wanted the slaves returned to them. In war when there is contraband the side that has it is allowed to keep it, so the union officer told the southern officer the slaves were contraband and couldn't be returned. From that point on all former slaves who sought refuge with union troops were called contraband. I think this explains the response of the Union soldiers to the proclamation.
