Best Answer

The Emancipation Proclamation, effective from January 1863, which turned the war into an official crusade against slavery.

The immediate aim was to keep Britain from helping the Confederates. (They could hardly be seen fighting for slavery, when they had abolished their own.) In this, the Proclamation was entirely successful, and Britain stayed out.

It was also aimed at reviving Northern morale, which it did not achieve.

However, it gave Union troops a license to free Southern slaves wherever they found them, and these slaves clearly couldn't be returned to their owners. So it did have the effect of ending slavery.
