Yes it did, England for a long time was an anti slave country. In signing the Emancipation Proclamation, it abolished slavery, making England not side with the Confederacy due to their anti- slave laws

Why did the emancipation proclamation prevent great Britain from helping the confederacy?
Because it turned the war into an official crusade against slavery, so that free nations abroad could no longeraid the South without lookingpro-slavery themselves.
Which President stopped slavery?
Abraham Lincoln & the Emancipation Proclamation.
What is one thing Lincoln hopes the emancipation proclamation will accomplish?
Keep Britain and France from helping the Confederates, as it would make them look pro-slavery themselves.
How is the emancipation proclamation an example of propaganda?
It kept foreign powers from helping Confederate states, but it really did free slaves as the federal (Union) troops advanced. Thousands were freed, but it helped propaganda-wise!
What was the Emancipation Proclamation?
The entire text can be seen at the related link below.It was a set of two executive orders, issued by President Lincoln, which freed the slaves in the rebel states and guaranteed the enforcement of their emancipation. It only applied to slaves in rebel-held areas. The passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments after the war would permanently end slavery in America. The proclamation was effective in making sure that England and France would not support the south (and look pro-slavery), and in helping bankrupt rich southern landowners.The Proclamation was the answer to Lincoln's growing fear that Britain would grant recognition to the Confederacy, in the light of Lee's triumphant campaign in Virginia, and send military aid.By turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, he made it ethically impossible for free nations abroad to help the South, as it would make them look pro-slavery.
Was the emancipation proclamation enforcible?
No, Lincoln knew that there would be no way to enforce it because he had no control over the southern states. He made the emancipation proclamation to make the civil war about slavery so that England would not interfere and help the Confederacy. The British might have stepped in to support the confederacy gain independence, but when the war became about slavery, they had no interest in the issue of helping slaves.
Which President proclaimed that the slaves in the southern states were to be freed?
Lincoln. But they were freed by Union troops during their Southern campaigns, not by the Proclamation, which was mainly a tatcic to shame the British out of helping the cause of slavery.

What was major result of the Battle of Antietam?
It gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which kept Britain and France from helping the South. (It would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)
What was Proclamation about?
Basically abolishing slavery in the South, although the South was forming the Confederacy. It also intended to discourage Britain and France from helping the South, who they got cotton from, in the US Civil War.
What result was a result of emancipation proclamation?
The Emancipation Proclamation led to the freeing of slaves, some of which joined the Union Army (helping the Union, partly, to prevail in the Civil War). European countries did not support the South in the American Civil War. International support for the North in the American Civil War increased. More African Americans in the south joined the union army.

Confederate leaders hoped that a victory in Union territory would win support from which countries?
The Confederacy hoped that the United Kingdom and the French Empire would support them, as these were arguably the two most powerful countries in the world at the time. Additionally, these two countries generally didn't like the idea of a powerful United States, so each had an interest in helping the Confederacy break away. However, Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 largely ended those hopes. England and France had both banned slavery already, and now could not support the Confederacy, which sought to retain slavery. Later in the summer of 1863, devastating Union victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg made it clear that the Confederacy had little hope of ultimately winning the war.
What does the emancipation proclamation re-define the war as being?
An official crusade against slavery. This deterred free nations abroad from helping the South (its immediate aim), though it did not turn the North into a mass of Abolitionists.
