The Emancipation Proclamation did not free all the slaves in the US. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in September 22, 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation was made effective January 1, 1863. The Caucasians and African Americans in Galveston (Island), Texas did not discover about the Emancipation Proclamation until June 19, 1865. Slavery was still present in Texas 2 years and 5 months after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free all the slaves in the US. Lincoln did not really care about freeing African Americans from slavery. Lincoln did not want the pro-slavery Northern states and the Confederate Southern states to create a rival country in the New World. Lincoln only signed or issued the document as an attempt to "preserve" the Union.
