Yes.

Lincoln's principal and most urgent reason for issuing the Proclamation was to keep Britain and France from supporting the South. Now that it had become a war against slavery, they could not do this without looking pro-slavery themselves.

The failure of the South to attract support from abroad was one of the big factors that worked against the Confederates in 1863.

Abraham Lincoln wrote out the "Emancipation Proclimation" to free the enslaved African Americans, however, people didn't follow through with it immidiatly because only a couple weeks later he was assassinated by Booth. Year later the "Emancipation Proclimation" was put into consideration and a law was passed that "All men are created equal" and African Americans were no longer enslaved!! :P
