Why did Abraham Lincoln sign the Emancipation Proclamation?
Through 1862, Lincoln continued to have misgivings about the result of abruptly ending slavery (not the least of which was the prospect of freed slaves needing gainful employment). He was finally convinced that freeing the slaves would disrupt the war activities of the South, while at the same time gaining support for the Union from Northern liberals and from neutral European countries. Before Lincoln's death in April, 1865, the 13th Amendment was well on the way to codifying his executive order.
