Remember that the Missouri Compromise was outlawed by the Dred Scott decision, so that it was null and void in 1863. Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia, Delaware and Maryland still had legal slavery in 1862 as well as various conquered parts of Southern states. Under Dred Scott, slavery was legal in the territories. Lincoln had tried to persuade the union slave state to accept delayed compensated emancipation before the 1863 but pushed ahead against almost unanimous advice to propound and issue the Emancipation Proclamation. He turned out to be very right. Lincoln makes it quite clear in the EP that it is for suppression of rebellion that he is issuing the EP under his powers as commander-in-chief over which at least in time of war Congress has no control.
