The first major Union victory in the East, it gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation without making it sound like a desperate measure.

Also it showed England that this was a war about slavery, England had been antislavery for some time now and this also helped them see the northside more than the south's.
This was also the bloodiest battle yet in the history of the united states. 3,650 were killed. 17,300 were wounded. 1,770 were wounded and/or captured
England and France continued their support of the South. Their aid in buying cotton and suppling war supplies and building warships did not cease after the Battle of Antietam.
