What are two things the emancipation proclamation accomplished?

The Emancipation Proclamation shifted the aim of the Civil war to freeing of the slaves in addition to preserving the Union. This was the main accomplishment of the Proclamation - freeing of slaves. This led to prevention of European involvement in the war since many Europeans were against slavery. This was yet another of Lincoln's accomplishments being that Britain and France had considered supporting the Confederacy before The Proclamation. Although slavery was abolished only in rebellious states, by the end of the war, it had influenced and prepared citizens to accept the idea and even advocate the abolition of slavery. Also, with the Proclamation African Americans were received into the army of U.S.

i personally think they should have, because they would have been a lot more successful.
