The emancipation proclamation freed no one here?

The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the states that were in rebellion. This put the onus on them to return to the Union or face the loss of slaves. Many slaves fled to the union lines where they were considered contraband property until the proclamation went into effect.


Why does the emancipation declare immediate freedom to slaves?

It technically freed the slaves in the states in rebellion, but not the ones in the Border states that had stayed loyal. In practice, it did not free many slaves, but the Union troops were licensed to liberate any slaves they came across in their Southern campaigns. These presently joined the Union armies.
