I would appreciate it if you would supply supporting evidence for your assertion that "slavery did exist in the North," at least insofar as the North at the time of the Emancipation Proclamation. My understanding is that slavery had been outlawed by the individual Northern states, long before the Civil War.

Perhaps what you mean to say is that slavery was legal in some states which were not part of the Confederacy, e.g., Missouri, due to the Missouri Compromise. It was the Missouri Compromise which made it impossible for Lincoln to free all the slaves, thus, the Emancipation Declaration could only apply outside the Union.
