The North. It was issued by Lincoln, chiefly to keep the British from aiding the Confederates (because it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)

The Proclamation declared slavery to be illegal in all the states in rebellion - that is, the South. It allowed slavery to continue in the slave-states that had remained loyal, for fear of upsetting powerful slave-owners and driving them into the arms of the Confederacy.
