The two correct responses regarding the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation on the progression of the Civil War are:
1. **It decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy.**
2. **It gave African Americans the right to fight in the war.**
The Emancipation Proclamation helped to undermine the Confederacy's position by framing the war as a fight against slavery, which made it less likely for European nations to support a government that was fighting to preserve slavery. Additionally, it allowed for the enlistment of African American soldiers in the Union Army, bolstering its numbers and contributing to the Union's military efforts.
