Up President Lincoln and his first version of an emancipation proclamation began in June of 1862. When he presented his ideas on the proclamation to his cabinet, he received varied opinions. Montgomery Blair believed that an emancipation, who came from a family of slave owners, objected on the grounds it that it might influence the border states to join the Confederacy.

What is the emancipation proclamation act?
A Proclamation is not an Act.
Lincoln's Proclamation simply 'proclaimed' that all slaves in the rebel states would be considered free from January 1st 1863, and that Union troops were licensed to liberate any slaves they came across in their Southern campaigns.
It looked like a failed human-rights document, making empty threats to all the states that he didn't control.
In fact, the most urgent reason for issuing it was to keep Britain and France from sending aid to the South. By turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, Lincoln made it impossible for free nations abroad to recognise the Confederacy without looking pro-slavery themselves.
In this, it was totally successful, and ended Lincoln's nightmare-prospect of foreign intervention on the side of the enemy.
But the troops were also able to damage the Southern economy by reducing their workforce, and putting these freed blacks to work in the service of the Union armies.
What is one thing Lincoln hopes the emancipation proclamation will accomplish?

Did the Emancipation Proclamation offer to let the slave states back in the union?
No, it stated that all slaves held in the rebellious states were emancipated (freed) from their plantations. Of course, since the states were in rebellion, it did not help the slaves all that much. However, since Lincoln was smart, he did not want to emancipate slaves in the border slave states that had not yet seceded from the Union, knowing that if he did, they would leave. This would take much of the supplies and much needed population that they would require for the war. It was merely a document written to let the South know that once the Union gained control again, they meant business; slavery was out of the question. For good.
What effect did the emancipation proclamation have on the court of the war?
Shamed the British and French out of sending aid to the Confederates, for fear of looking pro-slavery.
