maybe this can help just take a min. and read it 

It was completely political. He did not free any slaves with this declaration. Slaves in northern states remained slaves. 

 The issue was a growing population of property, black slaves that the north was collecting. Were they people or property? The United States still allowed slavery, so they technically could not be freed. They could not sell the slaves to other northern slave owners without other political fallout, so the logical choice was to free them so they could fight as soldiers. 

 Slavery ended the December AFTER the civil war ended. Lincoln did not live to see this end.
