Answer 1

Although the proclamation said slaves in the south were free in the USA, they were not really in the USA and were not really free until under Union control.

Answer 2

The Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people living in states still in rebellion against the Union after January 1, 1863 and territory already under Union control by January 1, 1863.

Answer 3

That is correct. While the Emancipation Proclamation declared enslaved people in Confederate states to be free, the Union had limited control over those areas at the time. It was only when the Union gained control over those Confederate states that the proclamation's provisions could be fully enforced, ensuring the freedom of enslaved individuals.
