"Then what emancipation was it?"

The same "emancipation" of the property of the vanquished that occurs in all wars.

Which is exactly whay Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation called for. Why do you people continue to insist that Lincoln's EP freed no slaves when even in mid 1864, the President of the CSA admitted that half of the slaves in the south had already been freed by it?
