Lincoln had it ready by July 1862, even as he made his speech about not wanting to attack slavery.
But he could not issue it while the Confederates were winning so many battles - it would have looked like a desperate gesture.
He had to wait for a Union win, which came earlier than expected, in September. He issued the Proclamation immediately afterwards - to be effective from January 1st 1863.
