Nope. The slaves in the Confederate states were freed 1-1-63 by the Emancipation proclamation.

By decree but not by fact.

The decree was only effective where there were Republican bayonets.

The democrats retook Galveston on that very day, so the slaves in Galveston were not freed until Republican bayonets returned on Jun 19th
