The Emancipation Proclamation had several major effects:
- It changed the character of the Civil War into a fight against slavery, not just a fight to preserve the Union.
- It allowed the Union to recruit formerly enslaved Black men into the Army and Navy, adding significant manpower.
- It encouraged enslaved people in Confederate territory to flee or resist, undermining the Southern labor force.
- It made European recognition or support of the Confederacy far less likely, since Britain and France had abolished slavery and public opinion there opposed supporting a slaveholding government.
- (But note: it freed slaves only in rebelling Confederate states, not in border states or in areas already under Union control, so its immediate legal effect was limited; it also set the stage for the 13th Amendment.)
