Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery in the Southern states. The Emancipation proclamation announced that the slaves were officially and legally free.
Although the Emancipation Proclamation declared Slaves of the Confederacy "Freed", it had no authority and did not free any slaves unless they made it to the North from the Confederacy.
Lincoln's Abolitionist philosophy was alive and well in both the Union and the Confederacy at the time he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Through that edict Lincoln was able to offer a "kick start" to the movement and encourage the formation of "Underground Railroads" by Southern Abolitionist to assist escaping slaves.
The final executive order of the Emancipation Proclamation, only freed slaves in the areas of the Confederacy that had not already returned to Union/federal control by January 1863.
The thirteenth Amendment. abolished and outlawed slavery, throughout the US. It was ratified by 3/4 of the states in December of 1865, though it had passed both Houses, and was signed by President Lincoln, on February 1, 1865.
