Many people argue that in addition to being a human rights issue, the Emancipation Proclamation was also part of Lincoln's military strategy. Freeing the slaves would not only cause less chance of riot and rebellion on their part, but also provide more able bodies for his own army needs.

How was the emancipation proclamation limited?
The shortcomings of the Proclamation fall in two parts. It's language was measured as a blow against an enemy. Slaves, (chattel) were freed in the "rebelling states" but not in the border slave states that sided with the Union. Secondly, not fighting the Civil War to end slavery but to "Preserve the Union" Lincoln's proclamation is seen more as a military strategy to limit the economic viability of the enemy and foment rebellions among the slaves of the South seeking freedom. Not until the 13th Amendment, after Lincoln's death, was slavery abolished.
Why have many historians said that the Emancipation Proclamation was a political strategy to aid the North in the Civil War?
The War Between the States was not only a military issue, it was apolitical one as well. The background of the political side began when Lincoln began doing away, or rather, suspending parts of the US Constitution. The writ of habeas corpus for example was suspended. It allowed anyone in the North to be imprisoned without due process. The "victims" of this were thought to be Southern sympathizers. As in any such situation, abuses of government power, normally protected by the Bill of Rights, for example, would be ignored. Lincoln had no political reason to do this, instead he used the crisis of a war to make arrests as a military act to protect the Federal government. The Emancipation Proclamation was also billed as a military necessity. The unwritten political side was to endear England & France from recognizing the Confederacy, and of course encourage Southern slaves to escape to the North. Examining the Emancipation in that light, it can be seen why it was a political move disguised by a military necessity.
What was North strategy to limit supplies to the south during the Civil War?
First a Naval blockade, which was generally successful. Then the Emancipation Proclamation (effective January 1863), which made it impossible for foreign countries to aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery. This was also successful.
