The purpose of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was to free all the slaves in Confederate American states that did not acknowledge Union control by January 1, 1983. This committed the Union to the purpose of abolishing all slavery in the United States.
Another purpose was perhaps to incite rebellion by the slaves in the South. It was also written to calm free black leaders in the North that were clamoring for Lincoln to do something toward ending slavery. It gave encouragement to the union army, that they were ending slavery for the most part if they won. Lincoln waited until the Union won a major victory before releasing the proclamation.
