What single overriding concern did Lincoln set forth as the one that would determine when and whether he freed the slaves?
It was a military decision. He proclaimed the slaves in the south "free" in hopes to create a rebellion. Thus consuming the south's resources. Yet in all the northern state he required the slaves to purchase their freedom with inscription into the Union army. Thus increasing the north's resources. The date was January 1, 1863. The north had suffered unexpected devastating losses in 1862, Lincoln was forced to act. Thus the Emancipation Proclamation. Failure of the Emancipation Proclamation, no slave rebellion in the south, resulted in the March 1863 -- The First Conscription Act. A military decision that forced northern men into the Union army.
How did the slaves hope to be set free?
During the US Civil War, slaves in the Confederacy knew about the Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation. They had hopes for an early freedom even before the war ended because as Union troops captured Southern territory, slaves their were freed by the Union army. Later after the war, an amendment, the 13th amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery.
Were there any controversies while Abraham Lincoln was president?
Not for the most part. While he was the president for the union side during the civil war, he temporarily suspended habeas corpus and other "natural rights" listed in the bill of rights, in order to keep Maryland from seceding from the union. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was also cause for an uproar. Most people at that time were thinking about total abolition of slavery. Even a majority of the Northerners only wanted free soil to stay free, and Abe Lincoln was one of such people. The war was originally started to re-unite the union. However, with the North badly losing every battle, Lincoln knew he needed some way to take away the south's advantages. So he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in hopes to attract slaves away from their masters to fight for the union. Other than this there were really no controversies.
What caused Abraham Lincoln to write the emancipation proclamation?
Notice that he did not emancipate them; he just 'proclaimed' that they were emancipated. This was for the ears of the British and the French, who had been planning to help the Confederates. Now that the war had been made to look like a crusade against slavery, free nations abroad could not aid the South without looking actively pro-slavery themselves. The Proclamation totally fulfilled Lincoln's hopes. The other countries had to stay out of it.

What hopes does Lincoln express for the future?
Lincoln believed in the Union-- he believed the war could end and that the north and south could learn to live together and get along. So, one hope he had was that the Civil War would soon end. Another hope he had was that slavery would end, so that black people would have the opportunity to fully participate in American life as citizens; he knew signing the Emancipation Proclamation would not be a popular decision with everyone, but he had hope that in time, those who opposed it would learn to accept it.
