The Emancipation Proclamation, which stated that all slaves in the areas revolting (that is, it didn't include the slave states, like Maryland, that were loyal to the Union) were to be set free. Of course, being in rebellion, the states of the Confederacy didn't follow this, though it was enforced by the Union Army as they went through the South. Because there was little the federal government could do about it, it did nothing- that is, except deny the Confederacy outside help. The Confederate states were, at that time, courting an alliance with Britain or France, both of which had outlawed slavery a while back. Because of the Emancipation Proclamation, Britain and France, who were a fan of the South's cotton but not how it was produced, were rudely reminded that their potential ally still practiced slavery; as a result, they withdrew any possibility of support, and the Confederacy continued to struggle with funding.
