The Emancipation Proclamation was exactly, precisely, what the Confederacy did not want to happen with regard to the issue of slavery. Why on Earth would they stop fighting because of it? Also, slavery was really only one of the issues underlying the War of Northern Aggression (admittedly, it was a pretty big one).
