It was the single handed best political move of the Lincoln presidency. Even today it is interesting how many believe it freed slaves. It actually freed zero people. What it did do, was create a new moral high ground for the north and focused the war from a states rights issue to one of freedom for humans. Prior to this slavery was viewed as part of the rights of a state. It framed the idea of slavery in it's own light and pulled it out of a political realm. Real people were now viewed as real people. The issue was not a right of the states any longer. It became a right of a human.
The emancipation proclamation did not free slaves in any Northern States. They remained slaves until well after the civil war. This ended on December 18th,1865 with the 13th amendment being declared a law and had nothing to do with this decree.
