Best Answer

The Emancipation Proclamation.

It could not carry authority in those states, of course (although it licensed Union troops to free any slaves they found), but it did have the effect of preventing Britain from sending military aid to the Confederates. Britain had abolished slavery thirty years earlier, and could not be seen to fight for the slave-owners.
