What was one reason that Abraham Lincoln wanted to keep the border states in the Union?
The Emancipation Proclamation was as much a political act as a humanitarian one. It only gave freedom to slaves in states that had already joined the Confederacy. Lincoln hoped that these newly freed slaves would join the Union Army. However, he didn't want to lose support from border states that were both pro-slavery and pro-Union. Lincoln allowed them to keep slaves to prevent more states from joining the Confederacy.
