Perhaps you need to read the thread on Emancipation Day in Virginia
previously on VA-Hist.  Apparently African Americans in Norfolk thought
it freed them, since they celebrated that freedom on 1 January 1863.
Likewise the many Virginians from the Confederate States who joined the
USCT forces from 1863 forward.

Lincoln's so-called Emancipation Proclamation didn't free a single
slave.
