During the American Civil War, the purpose of the Emancipation Proclamation (announced by President Lincoln on January 1, 1863) was to free all slaves in the secessionist states of the South. While the Proclamation did not abolish slavery as an institution nor free all slaves, it was a vital step in that direction.

Why do you think president Abraham Lincoln issued an executive order against slavery?
If this question pertains to President Lincoln's issuance of his two Emancipation Proclamations then the answer is clear. The final Proclamation freed all slaves in States in rebellion against the Union. It did not address slavery in States loyal to the Union. Lincoln understood that under the US Constitution, he had no power to "free slaves". What he did was what is called an executive order for military purposes. In this manner he was able to issue his Proclamations. The Proclamations were legal in terms of a president doing what he deemed necessary in times of crises.
