It turned the war into an official crusade against slavery, so that free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves. This succeeded in keeping Britain out of the war - an urgent priority for Lincoln.

By 'proclaiming' that Southern slaves were free, it also licensed the troops to liberate any slaves they came across on their Southern campaigns.

Where slaves were freed?

Most states never freed the slaves. The North started to ban slavery across all of the Northern states. The South never wanted to ban the slavery then. Thats one of the causes of the Civil war.

Hope this helpeddd.(: The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in the rebellious southern states on January 1, 1863. The 14th Amendment freed the rest in 1865.
