It didn’t free any slaves in the United States, including those portions of rebel states that were occupied by the union army.

It freed every slave in the United States in those parts still in rebellion when the Proclamation was signed. The rest did have to wait for the 13th Amendment was ratified or their own state legislatures did away with slavery.
