Yes, upraised black fists had nothing to do with the slaves getting their freedom. Some ran away to get their freedom and some fought for the Union, but virtually all slaves, like the ones in Texas gained their freedom because the Union army occupied where they lived.

And perhaps ironically, the slaves in New Orleans weren’t freed by the Emancipation Proclamation since the Union was in control of N.O. when the E.P. took effect.
