It had no real immediate effect since it applied only to the seceded states who did not acknowledge Lincoln's government. It may have a somewhat demoralizing effect on the South and was an encouragement to the North and to the affected slaves, it they heard about it.

By using the Proclamation as an instrument to turn the war into a crusade against slavery (which it hadn't been), Lincoln made it politically impossible for free nations abroad to help the South.
Both Britain and France had abolished slavery many years earlier, and could not be seen to fight for the cause of the slave-owners.

∙ 11y agoThe proclamation freed up resources for the North. It freed no actual slaves, but did allow the North to turn the issue of the civil war into a war against slavery instead of a war against state rights. This stopped the plans of some countries which were sympathetic to the South's cause from aiding them in the war effort.
