why did Lincoln not free the slaves in the Union states with the Emancipation Proclamation?
Lincoln justified emancipation as a wartime measure, and was careful to apply it only to the Confederate States currently in rebellion. exempt exempt from the proclamation were the four slave states and all or parts of three Confederate states controlled by the Union army.
The Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to enslaved people in the border states of Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware, and Maryland, which had not joined the Confederacy. Lincoln exempted the border states from the proclamation because he didn't want to tempt them into joining the Confederacy.
