Slaves living in the Confederate states during the Civil War were freed.
As a result of the Emancipation Proclamation
He freed slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation, if you do not know what that is type the question: What is the Emancipation Proclamation?
No the emancipation proclamation did not free all slaves immediately. instead it freed very few people because the emancipation proclamation did not apply to slaves in the border states who were fighting for the union states. it also did not act upon the slaves in the south that were already under union control.
It was the year when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed all people held as slaves. This year marked the destiny of America.
January 1, 1863.
The Emancipation Proclamation freed those enslaved people who had not already freed themselves in Rebel-held states, but not border states where slavery was also legal.

Abraham Lincoln is the one who freed the slaves.Harriet Tubman freed the slaves over 300 people.
Emancipation Proclamation
No, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all the enslaved persons. Only the slaves in the "rebellious states" were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. The "rebellious states" were those which had seceded from the Union, except for the states that had already come under Northern control.
There are no freed slaves remaining on the farm where they had worked as slaves. After emancipation, freed slaves were free to leave the farms where they were enslaved.
The Emancipation Proclamation was very carefully worded to not free anyone anywhere at the time of its writing!The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves inside states in rebellion (i.e. Confederacy) and not controlled by Union troops. These states obviously ignored the Emancipation Proclamation and did not free any slaves. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was written Union troops did not control any of those states.The Emancipation Proclamation explicitly permitted states that had stayed in the Union to keep their slaves. This was because if the Emancipation Proclamation freed such slaves then these states would probably leave the Union and join the Confederacy. Lincoln could not afford to have that happen!In fact the Emancipation Proclamation was a Propaganda document to encourage European support for the Union, and it was not expected to have any effect on either slave masters or enslaved people.Actually freeing the enslaved people would have to wait until after the war.
No.
