It was chiefly an urgent wartime measure, to head-off the British from granting recognition to the Confederacy and sending military aid. (It would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.) In this, it was totally successful.
Lincoln was also trying to restore Northern morale by making them feel they were taking part in a noble crusade against slavery. In this, it was not successful. Most Northerners never were Abolitionists.
The primary, the fundamental objective of the Union forces in the US Civil War was to force the South into an unconditional surrender. This meant that for all practical purposes, the Confederate forces were no longer able to defend themselves and the Confederacy.
reestablishment of the union with ironclad guarantees for slavery including the rights of southerners to own slaves anywhere in the united states or its territory and constitutional amendment forbidding the abolition of slavery for 100 years
The Emancipation Proclamation, effective from January 1863, which turned the war into an official crusade against slavery. The immediate aim was to keep Britain from helping the Confederates. (They could hardly be seen fighting for slavery, when they had abolished their own.) In this, the Proclamation was entirely successful, and Britain stayed out. It was also aimed at reviving Northern morale, which it did not achieve. However, it gave Union troops a license to free Southern slaves wherever they found them, and these slaves clearly couldn't be returned to their owners. So it did have the effect of ending slavery.
It became apparent to Abraham Lincoln in the middle of 1862 that the original aim of quashing the rebellion were ineffective due to military reverses, specificaly the failure of McClellan's effort to capture Richmond in the Peninsular Campaign. This feat of Southern arms against the Army of the Potomac had stiffened Confederate resolve, and more importantly had threatened British recognition of the CSA. It was therefore necessary for Lincoln to add the moral stigma of slavery to the offensive in order to 1)sway British opinion against diplomatically recognizing the South and 2) to energize the slave population into both passive (through refusing to work) and active (the raising of "colored" regiments ) resistance against the Confederate rebels. Lincoln waited for 2 days after the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) to release the Emancipation Proclamation, thereby announcing the new war aims in September of 1862.
The Battle of Shiloh, fought in April 1862, was a pivotal conflict in the American Civil War, primarily motivated by the Union's desire to secure control of the Mississippi River and the Confederate aim to defend their territory and maintain their supply lines. Both sides sought to gain a strategic advantage in the Western Theater, as victory would bolster morale and provide critical resources. Additionally, the Union aimed to push deeper into Confederate territory, while the Confederates sought to repel Northern advances and protect their homeland.

To free the slaves in all regions behind confederate lines
It was meant to free the slaves - in all the states that Lincoln did not control! Its true aim was to keep the British and French from aiding the South, as this would have made them look pro-slavery themselves. In this, it was totally successful.
The motto of IRELI Public Union is 'Our name is our aim!'.
The overriding aim of the south was to force the Union to recognize the Confederacy as a separate country. This could occur by militarily defeating the Union, bankrupting the Union, toppling the elected government of the Union, or by gaining recognition from foreign powers who would then help persuade the Union. A second objective was to permit the continuation and expansion of slavery. For some southerners, this was the principal aim.

It did not actually free any slaves. It gave Union troops a licence to liberate any slaves they found on their Southern campaigns. But its chief aim was to make it impossible for Britain and France to help the Confederates without looking pro-slavery. That was a big factor in eventual Union victory - which had the effect of freeing all the slaves by the end of 1865.
