Best Answer

The largest effect of the Emancipation Proclamation, once ratified at the end of the war, was that agricultural labor became more expensive. Rather than providing room and board and "owning" property, owners now had people who had to be paid and who were not of any monetary value to them. For the blacks, it meant they could choose where to work, but it was very difficult, I imagine, for them to act on this in the early years. The slavery system in the south took years to develop and years, and maybe generations, for it to approach the letter of the Proclamation.
