The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 proclaimed for all states rebelling to emancipate/free slaves. This Proclamation did not however affect the slavery of the states that were loyal to the Union, though they were still eventually freed. The Confederacy did not release their slaves however upon hearing this. Though when the slaves heard, some of them fled to the Union.
