True.
The Emancipation Proclamation exempted certain Confederate areas then under Union control; earlier congressional Confiscation Acts (especially the Second Confiscation Act of 1862) authorized the seizure of rebel property — including enslaved people — and declared those slaves of Confederates to be free, particularly when they came under Union protection.
