Umm, a huge Slave Market was a few blocks from the US Capital and was unaffected by the Emancipation Proclamation, which only freed slaves in the South.

The Emancipation Proclamation also led to the French pulling support for the South because it made it clear that anyone backing the Confederacy was backing slavery. Brilliant move by Lincoln. He didn't want to free slaves in border states yet because he didn't want to risk those States leaving the Union.
