He also allowed southern politicians to rejoin Congress but North remained in majority.
Why Abraham Lincoln was wary of upsetting the border states?
President Lincoln needed to make sure that the border states weren't taken over by the Confederacy or secede into it. Also it was a very good military resource, because they could launch attacks on the South with little travel distance.

What did arkansas north Carolina Tennessee and Virginia decide about the confederacy and why did they make this decision?
Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia ultimately decided to join the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Their decision was influenced by several factors, including strong regional loyalties, economic ties to the South, and the belief in states' rights. Additionally, following the attack on Fort Sumter and President Lincoln's call for troops, these states felt compelled to support their Southern neighbors in defense of their way of life and to maintain slavery. The cultural and political ties to the Confederacy outweighed their initial reluctance to secede.

The southern states made the assumption that Lincoln would make slavery illegal.
The emancipation proclamation freed those slaves held in which states?
All the states in rebellion. It did not apply to the slave-states that had remained loyal. Of course, it did not actually free many slaves, because Lincoln was not able to influence the Confederacy. The real aim was to stop Britain from sending aid to the South, as it would make them look pro-slavery themselves.
Was the emancipation proclamation enforcible?
No, Lincoln knew that there would be no way to enforce it because he had no control over the southern states. He made the emancipation proclamation to make the civil war about slavery so that England would not interfere and help the Confederacy. The British might have stepped in to support the confederacy gain independence, but when the war became about slavery, they had no interest in the issue of helping slaves.
