There was the "first emancipation proclamation issued by President Lincoln in the Fall of 1862. This one gave Southern slave owners a chance to set free their slaves and return to the US. The limitations were that it had no effect on states with slaves that remained loyal to Union. The second emancipation, effective on January 1 1863, gave slaves in the South their freedom. The limitation as with the earlier one was that most slaves were under control of their Southern masters. Also, once again the provisions of both emancipations had no effect on US slave states. The British government noticed this " limitation" and saw the whole effort differently.

one is that it only applied to slaves in confederate states and the other is closely related in that it could only be enforced if the union won
