Your question is unclear, but I will answer it to the best of my ability. If your talking about during the Civil War, it is because Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union. He would have enslaved every single African American if it meant preserving the union. The Proclamation he made only freed black men in the seceded states, in which he had no power to do so. He did not ban slavery in border states like Maryland because he needed them. Maryland was close to Richmond, the Confederate capital.

How did the differences over slavery threaten the existence of the united states?

The north was opposed to slavery, and the south depended on slave labor. Therefore, the north and the south had opposing views on slavery. These views threatened to tear the U.S. apart, because some southern states threatened to secede from the Union, and the south was angry that many slaves escaped by running away to the north. Plus, the north ridiculed the south for ever allowing slavery, after northerners read the controversial novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. It seems that neither side could think of a compromise. Eventually, this resulted in the Civil War.

Why were the abolitionists overjoyed when Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation?

Because it turned the war into an official crusade against slavery. And it made it impossible for Britain and France to aid the Confederates, as this would make them look pro-slavery themselves - so it gave the North a new strategic advantage. However some Abolitionists complained that the Proclamation did not go far enough, as it allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal.
