Not in the eyes of the Northerners it was officially aimed at. The mid-term elections showed that they were largely uninterested.

But it relieved Lincoln of his biggest worry - that Britain had been keen to recognise the Confederacy and send military aid.

After the Proclamation was issued, free countries abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
