Then why did the Union only free the slaves in the Confederacy during the war?

Don't kid your self. Study a bit more with regards to the greatest abomination in our country's history. Then associate that with our current migrant situation in the fields today. It was about money...and a disenfranchised vote. It started many years before.....and the North sought revenge for cheap labor via tariffs et al. We had two halves of the pie.one being industrial..and one being agricultural. The industrialists didn't like losing cash......
It's an ugly truth.

By the end of the American Revolution, slavery had proven unprofitable in the North and was dying out. Even in the South the institution was becoming less useful to farmers as tobacco prices fluctuated and began to drop. However, in 1793 Northerner Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin; this device made it possible for textile mills to use the type of cotton most easily grown in the South.
