A is a valid reason why Lincoln may have waited to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. It is possible that the proclamation could have caused revolts in the North, which would have weakened the Union's war effort. Additionally, Lincoln needed to maintain support from Northern states to ensure they continued to provide soldiers and resources for the war.

Ok!
