Best Answer: The Emancipation Proclamation greatly impacted the South. Plantation owners lost many of their slaves; thus losing their crops. Agriculture was the backbone of the economy of the South. The freed slaves went North and joined the Union Army which was a major factor for the North winning the Civil War.
A proclamation made by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863 that all slaves under the Confederacy were from then on âforever free.â.

It did not affect the four slave states that stayed in the Union: Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri.
