Why did 5 slave states fight with the north in the civil war?

Abraham Lincoln had persuaded 5 slave states to stay with the Union during the Civil War because the slave states, although they wanted to keep their slaves, it was more important to them to keep the whole country together. One must keep in mind that slavery was NOT the only cause of the Civil War. There were many reasons for secession. Some states were against Abraham Lincoln being President, others wanted more power in the states than the federal government. One of the states, Kentucky, was the birthplace of Lincoln. Also, the five southern states that belonged to the Union did not know until the middle of the war that Lincoln would abolish slavery. Lastly, industry was growing and therefore there would be less of a need for people to do work because slaves were replaced by machines to do the work.

Why did Lincoln believe that he could legally free slaves in the rebel states and believed that he should not free slaves in states loyal to the Union?

Let's look at the history and try to understand what this is about. First, there wasn't slavery in the northern states nor in the newest western states so he didn't have to "free" slaves in these states. Secondly, the southern states maintained that it was a States rights issue to determine if slavery was illegal or legal. When Lincoln was elected the southern states felt he would pass laws outlawing slavery so they left the union in April 12, 1861 beginning the civil war. Lincoln within the next 2 years got congress to pass the emancipation proclamation freeing 3 million slaves in the states in rebellion. Lincoln's whole goal was to keep the union together. He stipulated that if the southern states did not cease their rebellion by January 1st, 1863 the proclamation would go into effect. The confederacy didn't yield so it became law. Lincoln justified the law as a means to cripple the confederate states and because of the limits of presidential authority he limited it only to the states in rebellion. The Battle of Antietam added a victory to the union army and 5 days later the emancipation proclamation was issued.
