This was arguably the key factor in keeping Britain from siding with the south. In 1862, with the south on the offensive, Britain and France (with Britain's lead), were about to offer to mediate the war, with the recognition of the south. There were many underlying reasons for this, one of the most powerful I have heard of, is that aristocracy in England was dealing with their own democratic movement. The aristocracy felt sympathy with the south, as they did have many things in common. But the labor unions in England of course sided with the north. If not for the issue of slavery, which England had outlawed, things might have changed. That is now an issue for authors like Harry Turtledove.
Making it impossible for the British to send military aid to the Confederates - it would have made them look pro-slavery.
Lincoln waited to announce the Emancipation Proclamation because he wanted to ensure that it would have the greatest impact on the Civil War and public opinion. He needed a significant Union victory to give the proclamation more credibility and support.
Lincoln waited to issue the Emancipation Proclamation because he wanted to ensure that it would have a significant impact on the Civil War and not be seen as a desperate measure. He also needed to wait for a Union victory to give the proclamation more credibility.
It was important for Lincoln to wait before issuing the Emancipation Proclamation because he needed to ensure that the timing was right politically and militarily. He wanted to make sure that the proclamation would have the greatest impact and support possible.
The Union's victory at Antietam, was an important defeat, which President Lincoln needed, in order to issue the first portion of the Emancipation Proclamation, so that it would have an affect, and impact on the south. The battle of Antietam ended in the Union's victory on September 18, 1862, and the draft issue of the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on September 22, 1862.

The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Lincoln during the Civil War, had a significant impact on both the war and slavery in the United States. It declared that all enslaved people in Confederate states were to be freed, changing the war's focus to include the abolition of slavery. This proclamation also encouraged enslaved individuals to escape to Union lines, weakening the Confederacy's labor force. Ultimately, the Emancipation Proclamation helped shift the war's purpose towards ending slavery and laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
The impact that the Civil War had on the North and the South was: North: * North abolished slavery after the war because of the Emancipation Proclamation South * South grew poor * South experienced inflation
yes millions of years from now we probably will still remember the Emancipation Proclamation because he says that for the victory of the union and to remember all the troops that died out there for us!!
Kept the British and French from granting recognition to the Confederacy and sending military aid.
