According to the Emancipation proclamation, unless rebellious states (called then as confederate states), or parts of states in rebellion, returned to the union by January 1, 1863, the president would declare their slaves "forever free". Furthermore, the proclamation stated that freedom would only come to the slaves if the Union won the war.
