This was arguably the key factor in keeping Britain from siding with the south. In 1862, with the south on the offensive, Britain and France (with Britain's lead), were about to offer to mediate the war, with the recognition of the south. There were many underlying reasons for this, one of the most powerful I have heard of, is that aristocracy in England was dealing with their own democratic movement. The aristocracy felt sympathy with the south, as they did have many things in common. But the labor unions in England of course sided with the north. If not for the issue of slavery, which England had outlawed, things might have changed. That is now an issue for authors like Harry Turtledove.

They had to give up their plans to help the Confederates, because it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.

How did the emancipation proclamation affect the south social life?

It helped the slaves be free. Most of them had freedom. Not in all states, though, but for those that were, they left and went to do the things that were aproved to do. Most Black slaves weren't able to attend to the Army forces, only whites, however, most went into it because they could.
