How did the emancipation transform the Civil War?

Answer 1

The Union army and the North were losing morale for the war. Lincoln knew he had to give the troops and citizens a reason to keep fighting. He made the end of slavery the reason why they are fighting and it boosted the Union Army's morale.

Answer 2

Because it prevented the British from sending military aid to the Confederates - which they had been planning to do, much to Lincoln's consternation.

By turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, Lincoln made it politically/ethically impossible for free nations abroad to be seen fighting for the benefit of slave-owners.

Answer 3

It didn't really.

Lincoln was hoping it would revive Northern morale by turning the war into an emotive crusade against slavery. But the mid-term elections showed a pretty lukewarm reaction.

The most urgent aim was really to put out a signal to Britain that they could no longer support the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves. In this, it was entirely successful, and British intervention was never high on the agenda after that.
