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.
On January 1, 1863, Lincoln issued the final Emancipation Proclamation, which declared âthat all persons held as slavesâ within the rebel states âare, and henceforward shall be free.â The proclamation also called for the recruitment and establishment of black military units among the Union forces.
