The Emancipation Proclamation.
It did not actually free the slaves at that time, because Lincoln could not enforce any laws in the South. But it did give the Union troops a licence to free any slaves they came across in their Southern campaigns. This depleted the labour force and deprived the Confederates of farm produce.
