The document that stated "Slaves of any state in rebellion shall be then thenceforward and forever free" is the Emancipation Proclamation. Issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, it declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory during the American Civil War. This executive order was a significant step towards the abolition of slavery in the United States.

Lincolns decision to free the slaves?

That was the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared Southern slaves to be 'thenceforward and forever free', but only in the states that Lincoln did not control! (He allowed slavery to continue in the four slave-states that had remained loyal.) Lincoln was not actually deciding to free the slaves. He was making it look like that, so that free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

What did the Emancipation Proclamation decreed?

It proclaimed in a grandiose fashion that Southern slaves would be 'thenceforward and forever free' - just when Lincoln's government carried no authority in the Southern states. However, it was the beginning of total war, as it gave Union troops the right to rob the enemy of his property - which included slaves. Those slaves followed the armies back to their camps, and were given jobs there. The obvious conclusion was that if the North won the war, those slaves could never be returned to their one-time owners.
