The Emancipation Proclamation did absolutely nothing. It announced that if the South did not put down its weapons and end the war, that in 90 days, the slaves behind Confederate lines would be free. The Emancipation Proclamation announced to England that the Civil War was about doing away with slavery. It made it impossible for England to continue to provide material support for the South. The three warships England gave the South would be the last additions to the Confederate Navy. It ended the possibility of additional military support for the South. The promises that England and France made to the South of military intervention if the South would pullout of the Union, suddenly became impossible to keep. The South was suddenly on its own.
It meant that when Union armies captured southern territory, the slaves would be added to the Union Armies. The South would lose workers and the Union would gain solders.
