They were both concerned with the freeing of slaves. The first was not a law. It appeared to be a human rights appeal, but was in fact a tactical signal to European countries that they could not send aid to the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves. The second was a formal amendment to the Constitution, and marked the actual end of slavery.
