What slaves did not gain freedom under the proclamation?
Slaves in the border states that had remained loyal to the Union, as well as slaves in areas already controlled by the Union army, were not granted freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation. Additionally, the proclamation did not apply to states that were not in rebellion against the United States.
Did the emancipation proclamation immediately free all the slaves?
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.
Why did the emancipation proclamation not apply to slave in union state?
Because Lincoln didn't want to upset powerful slave-owners in the border states and drive them into the arms of the Confederacy.
Did the emancipation proclamation apply to the entire US?
No. It only freed slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately. (Mostly, those that had been captured by Union troops and were being held as "enemy contraband".)
