Why did President Lincoln feel that the Emancipation Proclamation was necessary?
Privately, Lincoln always supported abolition, but he felt that he had to be slow about introducing it to the country for it to be accepted. His original political position was Containment, preventing the spread of slavery from the southern states. Once the war broke out, Lincoln devised the Emancipation Proclamation to lure the Southern states back into the Union, and to prevent foreign nations from forming an alliance with the Confederacy. In the event, the rebel states remained intractable, but the foreign powers remained neutral. With the above thoughts in mind, US President Lincoln had already made his personal view about slavery well known. Especially in the 1858 debates with Senator Stephen A. Douglas. It was only later in the Summer of 1862, did Lincoln begin his drafts on the preliminary emancipation proclamation. This was due to the fact that the war was not rapidly moving in the direction that Lincoln had hoped for. France and England continued to trade and supply the South irregardless of the proclamation. Basically, in Lincoln's mind the proclamation would be a war measure. And, even more radical Republicans in his cabinet advised Lincoln not to issue it for fear of how the slave holding border states might react.

What caused US President Lincoln to believe that the South would never yield on their position on slavery?
The first year of the US Civil War, US President Lincoln spent allot of time pondering about what could be done to end the war as quickly as possible. It was clear that the South's desire was to perpetuate slavery and thus the cause of the rebellion. He had labored hard to persuade the Border States to accept the idea that slavery with could be gradually abolished with proper compensation from the government for the loss it its slaves. Lincoln believed that if the Border States agreed to voluntarily begin a gradual end to slavery that the Confederacy would lose what ever chance they had in convincing those states to join with the South. Perhaps even to the degree of returning to the Union.Lincoln was sadly disappointed that even by July of 1862 none of the Border States was going to accept the gradual end to slavery. Even Delaware with less than 2,000 slaves, and not on plantations, would not agree with Lincoln's proposals. Lincoln even put forth that the time sequence could stretch as long as two generations. Since these states would not budge on slavery, Lincoln concluded that the Confederacy wouls also never yield its position on slavery.
