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.
