The Emancipation Proclamation by US President Lincoln was a tactical war decision. As an aside, the Emancipation did not pertain to Union States and Washington DC, which had slavery.

The Proclamation was an urgent wartime measure, aimed at keeping Britain and France out of the war. The mid-term elections did not show much support for it at home - reminding us of the basic fact that most Northerners were not Abolitionists. The presence of more and more black soldiers in Northern uniform slowly started to influence American opinion about blacks as potentially equal citizens.
The influence of specific situations, such as major battles or political decisions, significantly impacted the outcome of the Civil War by shifting public opinion and altering military strategies. For example, the Emancipation Proclamation not only bolstered Union morale but also transformed the war into a fight against slavery, gaining support from abolitionists and newly freed African Americans. Additionally, critical battles like Gettysburg and Vicksburg turned the tide in favor of the Union, weakening Confederate resolve and resources. These factors collectively shaped the war's trajectory and ultimately contributed to the Union's victory.
In a way, it did. It essentially gave the slaves freedom in the NORTH, not the south. This encouraged them to escape to the North. The South was basically fighting two wars, one from the inside and one with the North. It crippled the reason they were drawn into the war, slavery.
Other than political pressure, factors such as the moral imperative to end slavery, the influence of abolitionist movements, and the strategic need to undermine the Confederacy contributed to the Emancipation Proclamation. The Proclamation declared the freedom of enslaved people in Confederate-held territories, which aimed to weaken the South's economy and bolster the Union’s war effort. While it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, it transformed the Civil War into a fight for liberation and paved the way for the eventual abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment.
