Why is this being asked here? There are no effect anymore. Time has progressed to make all people equal in the south and elsewhere.

Very Little.
When Lincoln signed the Proclamation, the Southern states already recognized themselves as a separate, sovereign nation.
The reason for the proclamation was simple: It allowed escaped southern slaves to serve in the Union army. Prior to the proclamation, these slaves were considered criminals who escaped their masters. They were unable to serve.
You should also note that there were a number of border states still in the Union that were "slave states." The proclamation did not apply to these states, their slaves had to remain property of their owners. Lincoln didn't want to piss these people off and drive them to join the CSA.

No effect at all specifically. Had they adhered to the tenants layed out in the Proclamation they could have held onto their way of life for a bit longer and the change would have been slower, more efficient, and possibly not so culturally shocking...but they didn't.

it broke them spiritually and they have never recovered and to this day remain bitter about actually having to work for a living and not rely on free labor.
