This unexpected Northern win gave Lincoln the credibility to issue the Emancipation Proclamation without making it look like a desperate measure.

The Proclamation made it ethically impossible for Britain to aid the Confederates - a most siignificant outcome.

The battle also spelt the end for McClellan. Although he had won the battle, he failed to pursure and destroy the Army of Northern Virginia, which the whole of Lincoln's cabinet thought he should have done, and he was promptly replaced by Burnside.
