The Emancipation Proclamation freed enslaved people in the South but not those in border states. It was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, as a war measure during the Civil War, declaring that all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. However, it did not apply to enslaved people in the border states (like Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri) or areas under Union control.
