The South declared it was illegal and immoral.

In the North, the abolitonists complained that it didn't go far enough. (The Border states were alowed to continue practising slavery.)

But most Northerners were not abolitionists, and were not particularly impressed with it, as the mid-term elections showed.

The main impact was actually the one at the front of Lincoln's mind - to make it impossible for Britain and France to aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.

What was one negative effect for the Union caused by the Emancipation Proclamation?

As George B. McClellan and other conservatives predicted, the Emancipation Proclamation did intensify the South's commitment for their fight for independence. This because it threatened both the property interest in slaves and the social interest in preserving White supremacy. However, it did to a certain extent drive a wedge between the owners of large plantations and the small Southern farmer.

Did the Emancipation Proclamation violate the Constitution and was this responsible for any positive or negative aspects of the war?

The January 1863 Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln did not violate the Constitution; however, it did not have any Constitutional basis, which generated criticism from both Southerners and (some) Northerners alike. That this criticism was a new adversity to be dealt with by Lincoln and his supporters is undeniable: it did not, however, deter the North from its march toward victory in any ultimately significant way.

What is the significance of negative reduction potential in the context of chemical reactions?

The negative reduction potential indicates the tendency of a substance to gain electrons in a chemical reaction. It is significant because substances with more negative reduction potentials are more likely to be reduced (gain electrons) and act as electron acceptors in reactions. This helps determine the direction and feasibility of reactions in a system.
