How did the Emancipation Proclamation solve the problem of decreasing enlistment in the Union army and navy?
The proclamation allowed minority troops who were forced to join the army to decide for themselves not to join the army.
How did the Emancipation proclamation become a turning point in the civil war?
Contrary to popular belief, the Emancipation Proclamation's goal was not really to free slaves. It stated that all slaves in the 10 rebelling states were free. You see the problem here? With no control over the Confederacy, the Emancipation Proclamation had little effect on the slaves in the South. The Proclamation made freeing slaves an explicit goal of the Union war effort, and was a step towards outlawing slavery and conferring full citizenship upon ex-slaves.

What did the emancipation proclamation still leave into question according to the southern states?
The problem with the Emancipation Proclamation is that it did not outlaw the institution of slavery. As the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Lincoln under the War Powers Act, he could have outlawed the institution of slavery, but he chose not to. A further problem with the Proclamation was that it only freed the slaves in states or territories that were not occupied by Union forces. For example, slaves in places like Maryland and Delaware, both slave states, were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. Maryland was never allowed to vote on secession, because President Lincoln sent Federal Troops into the Maryland statehouse and prevented the state legislature from voting. President Lincoln was very skillful in wording the Emancipation Proclamation so that it only freed the slaves in ten states of the Confederacy, and not in all slave states. However, as these states were not under the control of the United States, but under the control of the Confederate States of America, the Emancipation Proclamation had no effect there. Further, in some areas in the Confederate states where the Union Army had taken control were specifically listed as areas where the Emancipation Proclamation would have no effect, and slaves in those areas would not be freed by the Proclamation. For example, in southern Louisiana, where Union forces had captured New Orleans on 1 May 1862, and later spread their control over surrounding areas, those parishes in southern Louisiana were specifically listed in the Emancipation Proclamation as areas where the slaves would not be set free. The idea behind this was that where slaves were working under Union control then they needed to remain slaves for the good of the Union and the Federal government. This clearly demonstrates that the Emancipation Proclamation was not a humanitarian act of President Lincoln, but rather was only a military tactic to attempt to weaken areas of the Confederacy where the Union forces were not in control. So, if no slaves were freed in Federally controlled areas, and if the Proclamation had no effect in areas controlled by the Confederacy, then no slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation. In order to outlaw slavery, and to free the slaves, it was necessary to pass the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It was that Amendment that actually ended slavery and freed the slaves.
