How is it a myth, if it actually happened?

Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln freed the slaves.
That is what happened. Period.

“Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

Lincoln didn't free the slaves.
Proclamation or not.

look at all the active seaports all along the Atlantic. Realize also that the south would have control of the Mississippi as well. They would have formed their own country, and charged their own tariffs, being they weren't part of the North.
Also at that time, the country was powered by duties, import and export paid for DC's operating expenses. Income tax was non-existent. If they lost that income, the North would not have run, economically, the same way. It would have lost 2/3 or better of its income.

13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Abolition of Slavery
Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.".

Because he didn't. The 13th Amendment did.

That should have never been ratified since the south had no actual representatives in that congress!
