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.


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.
