How did Emancipation Proclamation impact the British diplomacy?

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.

Beginning January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared, the slaves belonging to persons in rebellion against the United States were free. But the Proclamation did not free slaves in the border states or even those parts of the South, such as Tennessee, that were under Union control.

Lincoln still felt that he did not have constitutional authority to free slaves belonging to loyal planters. The Proclamation was a war measure, designed to embarrass the enemy.

The Proclamation made freeing slaves an explicit goal of the Union war effort, and was a step towards outlawing slavery and conferring full citizenship upon ex-slaves.
