Question

How did the emancipation proclamation change the nature of the civil war? it prompted the confederacy to surrender?

Answer 1

The emancipation proclamation changed the nature of the civil war by showing that the south had slaves. Since the south had slaves, Great Britan and France were reluctant to help the Confederacy. Although the emancipation proclamation changed the nature of the civil war, it didn't prompt the Confederacy to surrender since they fought on for 3 more years.
