In those states which were in rebellion against the federal Union. The Emancipation Proclaimation did not affect the slaveholding practices in the borders states, i.e. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia.

     Nor did it take effect in the border state of New Jersey. However, all of this ignores the fact that there were efforts at compensated emancipation in those slave loyal to the Union.

     Moreover, because the rebellion had already been suppressed in Louisiana and Tennessee, it did not take effect there, either.  

     Also, the Emancipation Proclamation did not take effect until January 1, 1863, a few months after it was actually proclaimed. All of which means that the nine remaining states still in rebellion, to-wit, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia, could have preserved slavery simply by voting to return to the Union by January 1, 1863.
