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.

No. Since Benjamin Franklin died in 1790, he would not have been around to write the Emancipation Proclamation which was issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the American Civil War.
He wanted to give the Southern states a little time to quit the Confederacy. But none of them did.
I've been doing research on this topic and I know he definitely changed it numerous times.
Frederick Douglass did not directly write or draft the Emancipation Proclamation, but he played a significant role in advocating for the liberation of enslaved people and influencing public opinion on the issue. He met with President Abraham Lincoln and urged him to take stronger action against slavery. Douglass's efforts in the abolitionist movement and his powerful speeches helped to shape the context in which the Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863. His work contributed to the growing momentum for emancipation and the inclusion of African Americans in the Union Army.

yes
Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation sometime in June of 1862. He read a draft of the Proclamation in July of 1862, to his cabinet members.
The emancipation proclamation was to free slaves after civil war.
Abraham Lincoln, due in part to his religious upbringing, was strongly morally opposed to slavery. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation, only applying to the succeeded states, in order to get the ball moving on abolishing slavery.
Nothing different, the emancipation proclamation was a international relations thing. He was trying to show that he still had power over the south
