Answer:

The emancipation proclamation gave the Union the Moral high ground for the war, with it Lincoln changed the reason from the war from keeping the union as one and not allowing the Souther states to seceede to it being about freedom for all. This helped to stop Great Britian, and other European nations from siding with the south.

Step-by-step explanation:
