The two emancipation proclamations issued by president Lincoln in actuality did not "free" any slaves. In practical terms, every time a Union army gained and held Confederate territory, slaves there were freed as a matter of course. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure meant to help disrupt Southern society. The slave holding Union border states, Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, kept their slaves until the end of the war.
