After the conclusion of the Civil War, former Confederate states rejoined the Union through a gradual political process established in tandem by the U.S. President and Congress. Fundamentally, each state was required to submit to military-led (though temporary) governing by Northern administration as part of the Reconstruction effort. Additionally, each state was required to ratify through democratic process the three "reconstruction" amendments to the Constitution, the 13th, 14th, and 15th.

Why did the confederate states not free all slaves even after president Lincoln declared slavery?

The Confederate States considered themselves a separate nation and, as such, they did not feel bound by Union laws and proclamations. Since the Confederates were not then considering returning to the Union, there was no compelling reason for them to do so. In fact, the proclamation convinced most southerners that they would not rejoin the Union without guarantees protecting their slave-holding property rights, even if it meant a constitutional amendment to do so.
