What Were Some Impacts Of The Proclamation Of Neutrality On Other Countries Or Regions

Why didn't foreign countries recognize the Confederate States of the Union?

I am assuming you are talking about the Confederate States of America.Certainly the South worked hard for recognition, which would have afforded it greater legitimacy and possible military assistance. Britain and France did provide the CSA belligerent status, which allowed them to legitimately trade. Clearly, for a nation to recognize the CSA, would at the same time negate that country's relationship with the US, since the US never identified with the CSA as a legitimate entity. By recognizing the CSA, a country would be putting themselves in the middle of the US civil war, which could have serious diplomatic repercussions.It has been said that if the south had not lost at Gettysburg, and had continued to endure, European nations may have seen the value in recognizing the CSA. The loss at Gettysburg, coupled with the emancipation proclamation, doomed any future possibility of recognition. Lincoln's emancipation had the additional effect of making any recognition of the CSA as implicit support for slavery.

Was the Emancipation Proclamation a humanitarian move, or just a war strategy to prevent Southern slaves from being utilized to fight the North?

The idea that the south could have gotten slaves to fight for their owners is completely absurd.The Emancipation Proclamation was a tactical move on Lincoln’s part. But not for the reason cited here. By 1862 both Union and Confederate armies were having a hard time keeping an army in the field due to both massive deaths and desertion. At the same time, abolitionists were urging Lincoln to bring black men into the Union army. There were two regiments formed as experiment, the 54th and 53rd Massachusetts. These were black soldiers led by white abolitionist officers. The black soldiers showed tremendous bravery as in the assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina.In 1863 the Union army began creating black regiments on a large scale, recruiting nearly 200,000 black men to fight the Confederacy. This was at a moment of increasing mass resistance by the slaves. Slaves were engaging in slow downs and as Union troops came near, there were mass desertions of slaves to the Union lines…more than half a million slaves fled the plantations. Thus by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln furthered this process along — a process of collapse of the southern slave economy — by converting the war into a war of liberation of the enslaved black population.
