What made it hard for Lincoln to issue the emancipation prociamation?

Lincoln was a member of the Republican party. Their platform was to limit slavery to the areas where it was already established, but prevent it from spreading to the territories. They were not necessarily abolitionists. When the southern states started to secede, Lincoln's main concern was to bring the Union back together. If he had freed the slaves too soon, he would have risked further alienating the south, this time beyond repair. After the Union army won the Battle of Antietam, Lincoln felt that a Union victory was sure. He then issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which only freed the slaves in the states that had seceded, not in the border slave states that were still a part of the Union.
