The South believed that US President Lincoln was attempting to start a slave revolt in the South which would have been damaging and cost many lives both slave and Southern lives. Lincoln was not trying to do that however. His goal was to allow slaves freed when Union troops invading slave states in the Confederacy to migrate North and also to serve in the Union military. ( this was later on )In the North four states were slave states. These were Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware. Slave owners in these states were uncomfortable with Lincoln's proclamation and slaves in these border states were surely confused.
