This unexpected Northern win gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation without making it look like a desperate measure.
The Proclamation made it ethically impossible for Britain to aid the Confederates - a most siignificant outcome.
The battle also spelt the end for McClellan. Although he had won the battle, he failed to pursure and destroy the Army of Northern Virginia, which the whole of Lincoln's cabinet thought he should have done, and he was promptly replaced by Burnside.
Southern army was blocked from entering the North.

From the tactical point of view the battle was undecided.
From the strategical point of view it was a Union victory, because Lee retreated from from the battlefield and from Maryland as well, after having failed his major task, that is destroy or put out of combat the Union Army of the Potomac.
From the political point of view the outcome was also a great success, because allow President Lincoln to release the Emancipation Proclamation thus preventing France and Great Britain from making further steps towards the acknowledgement of the Confederacy as an independent State.
From the tactical point of view the battle remained undecided.
Lee's decision to order the retreat the following day transformed the stalemate in a stunted Union tactical victory.
Due to the fact that Lee failed his objective and withdraw his army
in Virginia, the battle should be considered a strategic victory for the Union, which allowed Lincoln to promulgate the Emancipation Proclamation.
Furthermore the aforementioned results got out of the way the possibility for the Confederacy of being recognized as an independent country by France and Great Britain.
The Battle of Antietam, (Battle of Sharpsburg) resulted in not only the bloodiest day of the American Civil War, but the bloodiest single day in all of American history.
It was fought primarily on September 17, 1862, between the town of Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek and ended Gen. Robert E. Lee’s first invasion of a northern state. Lee lost the battle.
For observers in England and France, the Confederate failure in Maryland meant there would be no quick end to the War, and also meant that the Confederacy would have to get along without any help from their governments. While perhaps only a temporary setback for the Confederates, the battle in fact killed the last hope for foreign intervention on behalf of the rebels. Once Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation no civilized nation would side against the 'defenders of freedom'.
It was a tactical "draw" but a Union Strategic victory, because Lee retreated back to Virginia, giving up to further carry on his campaign of invasion.
