Why was it important to keep England neutral during the Civil War?
Initially, the tendency of Great Britain was to support the Confederacy, on the theory that as the original 13 Colonies had a right to independence from Great Britain, so the Confederacy ought to have a right to independence from the United States. If British support were actively given to the Confederacy, munitions and other resources would flow to them and it would be more difficult, and perhaps impossible to defeat them. The Union therefore needed to keep Great Britain neutral in that conflict. Once the Civil War became clearly about the abolition of slavery rather than just holding unwilling states in the Union, that became much easier because Great Britain had already abolished slavery and was actively opposing the slave trade along the African coast.

Which Union victory gave President Lincoln the necessary political support to issue the Emancipation Proclamation?
Antietam. It was not so much poliical support, but military credibility - showing that Lee could be stopped. (The British were treating this campaign as the test of Confederate viability, before granting recognition and sending aid.) However, Great Britain never closed the door on a formal recognition of the Confederacy.
Why did the Confederacy believe Great Britain would intervene in the US Civil War?
The Confederacy believed that Great Britain would intervene via "peace talks" to benefit the South. Confederate leaders believed that cotton was a bargaining chip to be used. It was a valid argument. Great Britain's cotton supply came via the South and 75% of its imported cotton was from the Confederacy. Also, the textile mills in England employed 20% of English workers.
