The Immediate Effects of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the ten Confederate states still in rebellion.ecause the Emancipation Proclamation made the abolition of slavery into a Union goal, it linked support for the Confederacy to support for slavery. As Lincoln hoped, the Proclamation swung foreign popular opinion in favor of the Union by gaining the support of European countries that had already outlawed slaver.
The Emancipation Proclamation did free slaves in those states, which were not under the Union's command. It did not outlaw slavery, or free slaves in the Border States. The Emancipation Proclamation was also the event, which paved the way to pass the 13th Amendment, which did abolish and outlaw slavery. The 13th Amendment was passed by both Houses, and signed by Abraham Lincoln on February 1, 1865.
