The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in areas of the Confederacy held by Union troops. With the final surrender that extended to all the area of the Confederacy.  There were still slaves in the four border states and DC.  DC ended slavery in 1863.  The 13th amendment ended slavery in the border states. General Grant continued to hold his slaves until the 13th amendment.
