The reason why the Emancipation Proclamation was written was because Lincoln believed slavery was wrong. One of the questions often asked is why it only covered those of the rebelling states. The reason involved legalities. He did not have the authority to issue such a decree on states that were not seceeding.
The emancipation proclamation was used by Lincoln as an instrument of war. He raised his military to invade the South to put down what he called a rebellion, which in reality â¦was a lawful War of Independence. The war was not about slavery, Lincoln did not care about slaves, by his own admission in his writings.
