Okay, so, Lincoln had to wait for a Union victory. Antietam Was the victory he needed.

The Emancipation Proclamation changed the course of the war. It went from defeating the Rebels of the South to freeing the slaves. In every place that the Union army could take, the Slaves were all freed. This was a huge boost to the troops. They were now fighting to free people. Freeing all the slaves would have done nothing to keep the men fighting. the fight needed a better cause. Is there a better cause than Freedom? Fighting to unite the Country and fighting for freedom are far different things. Even today fighting for freedom is still top on everyones list.
I hope this helped you. :)

Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land. the Constitution. The nation's founding fathers, who also struggled with how to address slavery, did not explicitly write the word "slavery" in the Constitution, but they did include key clauses protecting the institution, including a fugitive slave clause and the three-fifths clause, which allowed Southern states to count slaves for the purposes of representation in the federal government. In a three-hour speech in Peoria, Illinois, in the fall of 1854, Lincoln presented more clearly than ever his moral, legal and economic opposition to slavery--and then admitted he didn't know exactly what should be done about it within the current political system.

How did european immigration change in the time up to civil war?
Maksim231197 [3]

Prior to the Civil War, immigration was surging in particular from Germany, Ireland, and some Nordic countries.

During the 1830's-1850's, the US experienced a surge of new immigrants coming to the US looking for work. The market revolution offered opportunities for unskilled, poor immigrants to get jobs. those with more money were able to take advantage of new lands opening in the west (now Mid-west) for cheap.

Irish immigrants tended to be poorer and would come to the urban areas to settle and look for jobs. They created neighborhoods suited to their culture. Nativist groups formed in reaction to the new immigrants in particular the Irish. They were seen as unclean and as low in status as free blacks. Germans and those from Nordic countries tended to have more money and were skilled in farming. These groups came for cheap land and would make up the populations of Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, and Ohio. Those that could buy land were able to create ethnic communities and were not bothered by nativist groups as much as those settling in the cities. During the years of the war, immigration slowed to a halt and would revive again to a full roar after the war ended.
