How did people feel about the Emancipation Proclamation?
During the Civil War, when President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation, reactions varied greatly. Critics and enemies in the South scorned the move and even ridiculed it, although most of the slaves (quietly) celebrated it. Some Northerners disagreed with it out of fear that it would lengthen the war unnecessarily. Most Northerners, however, rejoiced with the hope that, at last, freedom was going to become reality for all Americans.BTW, the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly freed no slaves at all in the few slave states still loyal to the Union (to prevent having them rebel too). It only proclaimed the slaves free in those states then in rebellion against the Union (where the Union had absolutely no power to enforce it). So the Emancipation Proclamation actually freed no slaves at all anywhere. The primary purpose of the Emancipation Proclamation was not to free slaves at all or even for US consumption, but as an instrument of international propaganda (particularly on the British who had banned slavery throughout the British Empire several years before, to cease support for the Confederacy and support only the Union) and it worked in that purpose.

What 2 purposes did the emancipation proclamation was issued?
To make the North feel they were fighting a crusade against slavery. (It didn't.) To keep Britain from supporting the Confederates, as it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves. (It did.)
Why did the southern states ignore the emancipation proclama tion?
The southern states ignored the Emancipation Proclamation because they had already succeeded for the Union. It is as simple as that. They did not feel that the President of the United States had any jurisdiction over them.

Was the emancipation proclamation was it Constitutional?
No. It was not a law, only a proclamation. Its official aim was to make the North feel they were fighting for something more emotive than just the cotton revenues, though the mid-term elections did not reveal many new converts to Abolitionism. Its real and most urgent objective was to keep the British from sending aid to the South. By turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, it meant that free nations abroad could not aid the South without looking pro-slavery themselves.
Why did Lincoln feel it was necessary to free the slaves?
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was a symbolic gesture. It only freed the slaves in the states which had seceded from the union and were no longer under control of Lincoln's government. Lincoln was not a abolitionist and he had stressed the need to preserve the union as the main rationale for the War. The proclamation surely appealed to abolitionists in the North and assured them that winning the war would end slavery in the old slave states. As such it served to solidify the war effort. There may have been hope that a slave revolt would occur in the South or that the threat of such a revolt would demoralize the South.
