The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in Washington, DC, by President Lincoln, and freed those slaves held in territory then in rebellion against the government of the United States of America. As a result, it did not free anyone until Confederate lands were conquered after the Proclamation was signed. Those slaves held in lands already under the control of Union forces were not affected by the Proclamation.
They were 'proclaimed' to be free in all the Confederate states - just where Lincoln had no power or influence at that time. The Northern slave-states, which had stayed out of the Confederacy, were allowed to continue practising slavery till after the war.

The Emacipation Proclamation was written by Abraham Lincoln. It stated that there was to be no more slavery in the Union states.

His tone was stern and angry at times.
The first African American to visit the White House was Fredrick Douglas After Pres. Lincoln signed the Emacipation Proclamation.

It turned the war into an offical crusade against slavery - so Britain and France had to drop their plans to aid the South, because it would have made them look pro-slavery.
