What was the total number of slaves freed when the Emancipation Proclamitation was ratified by all states effected?
The Emancipation Proclamation freed all American slaves except those in (1)
Maryland, Delaware, Missouri , Tennessee, and Kentucky; (2) the counties of Virginia that shortly thereafter became the State of West Virginia; (3) seven other specifically-named counties of Virginia; and (4) New Orleans and 13 specifically-named nearby Louisiana parishes.
These exceptions represented states and counties/parishes that were already substantially under Union control on January 1, 1863, the effective date of the Proclamation. By its terms, the Proclamation did not apply to slaves in those areas. Those slaves were freed, not by ratification of the Emancipation Proclamation, but by the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery throughout the United States.

Why did general Benjamin Butler declare enslaved African American refugees to be contraband or captured war supplies?
Declaring slaves who had run away into the position of the Union Army to be "contraband" allowed the Union Army to "confiscate" them. This meant that the Union Army did not have to turn the runaways over to their owners, when the owners appeared wanting their slaves back. This denied the labor of the slaves to the south, and also satisfied the feelings of many in the Union Army, who did not like the idea of forcing slaves who had escaped back into servitude. So, for some months runaways were called "contrabands". This was before the Emancipation Proclamation, which did not take effect until January 1, 1863, by which time the war had been going on for more than nineteen months. Union leaders had to steer clear of the mention of "emancipation", of freeing the slaves, for the first part of the war. Very early on the Union commander in Missouri, John C. Fremont, had issued his own "emancipation" without consulting President Lincoln first, or even warning anyone in Washington DC what he intended to do. Fremont was a "political general", one of a large number of men (like Ben Butler) who were appointed as generals in the army in the early days not because they were great soldiers, but because of their political clout and connections, so Fremont should have known better. (Fremont did at least have some military experience, unlike almost all the other political generals - he had become famous as "The Pathfinder" following publication of his book written about his explorations of the west as the commander of a military expedition before the war). Fremont had been the first Republican to run for President, but he lost in 1856. Lincoln was the first Republican elected. Lincoln forced Fremont to withdraw his proclamation of "emancipation" in those early days in Missouri. The reason for this was Lincoln was trying to woo the border states - states which had slavery, but had not seceded - yet, anyway - and joined the Confederacy. Lincoln had said he hoped to have God on his side, but he HAD to have Kentucky. So all talk of "emancipation" had to be stifled at first, to avoid alarming the politically powerful large slave-holders in the border states (Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware) and to not give them the issue of slavery over which to decide they must cast their lot with the south, or be bankrupted.
