Why did Lincoln think an emancipation proclamation would help the North?
I would believe the emancipation proclamation is important for the north because of its factories. The loss of enslaved workers would hurt the south and would turn the british away from the south.
What constitutional issue involved Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation?
I think he issued the Emancipation Proclamation because he wanted to free all African Americans in the South.
Would African Americans be joyful about the emancipation proclamation?
You would think so.
Did abolitionist believe that the emancipation proclamation went to far?
No. They didn't think it went far enough. Actually, it only covered slaves that were in the confederate states that had left the union.
What effect did Lincoln think the proclamation would have on the slaves?
He hoped it would encourage one or two slave-states to quit the Confederacy and re-join the Union - as free soil, naturally. But his main reason for issuing the Proclamation was tactical. It would make it impossible for free nations abroad to aid the South without looking pro-slavery.
What did the south think of the emancipation proclamation?
They didn't like it

What do you think would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had waited until after the civil war to issue the emancipation proclamation?
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).

By making it impossible for free nations abroad to help the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
