Nobody is freed by a Proclamation - only by a law.
The Proclamation declared that slaves in the Confederate states were 'thenceforward and forever free' - meaning that Union troops on enemy soil were allowed to liberate any slaves they found. And by implication, that if the Union eventually won the war, and if the same Republican government was still in power, there would be moves to make slavery illegal.
The same Proclamation did not affect the four slave-states that had remained loyal to the Union. Lincoln had no wish to upset the people of these 'buffer' states and drive tem into the arms of the Confederacy. This also reminds us that Lincoln was not an abolitionist. He had rejected the final compromise, not in pursuit of abolition, but only because it would have allowed some new slave-states.
