The war had not originally been about slavery, so free nations abroad were able to trade with the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves. Lincoln's objective was to shame these nations out of recognising the Confederacy, by turning the war into an official crusade against slavery.

It worked brilliantly. Britain and France both had to give up their plans to send military aid, and the Confederate search for allies would be barren to the end.
