What reason did the Emancipation Proclamation abolish slavery?
It did not abolish slavery. It freed slaves in those states which had not rejoined the Union by January 1, 1863. It also did not free slaves in the border states.

The document, which ended, abolished and made slavery illegal was the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. The 13th Amendment was ratified and made part of the US Constitution and binding on all states, on December 6, 1865.

What would the world be like today if Lincoln had not issued the Emancipation Proclamation and freed the slaves?
Not very different. The E.P. only freed the slaves in the ceded states. It would have made almost no difference a all except maybe lowering the morales of people who thought they might be freed. Slaves were officially freed by the 13th amendment. That made a big difference. If Lincoln did not issue the 13th, we might still have civil rights issues today, but slavery would have ended from other nations pressures. (The U.S.A. was one of the last nations to use slavery.)
Why was Lincoln cautious about ending slavery?
The South directly opposed it, therefore if he freed the slaves to early, the South would have seceded even earlier.
What did the Northern people think about slavery?
