Answer 1

The reason why Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War was to reduce support for the Confederacy.

He did not free all the enslaved people in the United States because he didn't want to border areas to rebel.

Why did Lincoln issue the Emancipation Proclamation?

Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in order to make the American Civil War about slavery.

This meant that European nations could no longer support the Confederacy because that would have meant that they were supporting slavery. It also boosted support for the war amongst African Americans.

The Emancipation Proclamation did not free the enslaved in the border states because Lincoln did not want them to rebel and in any case he didn't have the Constitutional power to do so.
