None directly - remembering that Lincoln allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had not joined the Confederacy.

This is your clue that the Proclamation was not actually about abolition. It was an urgent wartime tactic to keep the British from granting recognition to the South. By making the war look like an official crusade against slavery, Lincoln made it politically impossible for free nations abroad to help the South without looking as though they were fighting for slavery.

Indirectly, of course, it helped Lincoln to win the war, and therefore enabled the eventual abolition of all slavery in the re-united States.
