That was the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared Southern slaves to be 'thenceforward and forever free', but only in the states that Lincoln did not control! (He allowed slavery to continue in the four slave-states that had remained loyal.)
Lincoln was not actually deciding to free the slaves. He was making it look like that, so that free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

Was lincolns decision to issue the emancipation proclamation a moral or a political decision?
It was completely political. He did not free any slaves with this declaration. Slaves in northern states remained slaves.The issue was a growing population of property, black slaves that the north was collecting. Were they people or property? The United States still allowed slavery, so they technically could not be freed. They could not sell the slaves to other northern slave owners without other political fallout, so the logical choice was to free them so they could fight as soldiers.Slavery ended the December AFTER the civil war ended. Lincoln did not live to see this end.
