For Some, it changed their opinion on slavery but for others, it made them feel angry with President Lincoln because not all of Union believed slavery was wrong and some even believed that slavery was the right thing to have in America.

It 'proclaimed' freedom for all slaves in Rebel States (over which Lincoln had no authority at that time) and sounded like a human rights appeal, to make the North feel it was fighting a crusade against the evils of slavery.

In fact, it was an urgent signal to Britain and France that they could no longer support thew Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
