Did Lincoln free the slaves? Respond & elaborate.

Half yes and Half no. Lincoln's Emancipation proclamation ostensibly freed all the slaves that were in the
territory that were rebelling against the states, and the U.S didn’t have any authority to free these slaves, it
was good but it wasn’t their jurisdiction. Other slaves that were in other areas weren’t freed, and stayed as
slaves.So they freed part of the slaves, and the other part stayed slaves. The slaves that Lincoln had the power
to free weren’t freed, and the others that couldn’t be freed were freed because of the Emancipation
proclamation. President Lincoln helped the slavery end sooner.
