I would believe the emancipation proclamation is important for the north because of its factories. The loss of enslaved workers would hurt the south and would turn the british away from the south.

He freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation that said slaves could no longer be kept in the rebel states, also known as the South.

What do you think would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had waited until after the civil war to issue the emancipation proclamation?
The main purpose of issuing the Emancipation Proclamation was international propaganda, as it had no actual effect in either the north or the south as written. It freed no slaves in northern slave states still loyal to the Union and although it declared the slaves to be free in those states then in rebellion against the Union there was no means available to enforce it. Thus all slaves prior to the Emancipation Proclamation still remained in slavery after it. Only after the Civil War was over did Union soldiers have the ability to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation in the south. The slaves in the northern states that did not rebel still remained slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment completely abolished slavery (as the Emancipation Proclamation explicitly left them slaves to prevent having those states rebel too during the Civil War).
What was the emancipation procimation?
It was a proclamation issued by Lincoln which freed all the slaves in states which were in rebellion (that is, the Confederate states during the Civil War). Lincoln threatened to free the slaves as a way to leverage the Confederacy into rejoining the Union. The Confederates refused. Lincoln followed through on his threat. Despite what many think, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves, only those in states which had seceded. Slaves in other states had to wait until the adoption of the 13th Amendment before they received their freedom.
What did the proclamation remind Americans of Lincoln?
I think it is Supreme Commander
