Actually the Emancipation Proclamation did facilitate a massive slave rebellion, as slaves walked off their plantations and joined the United States Army, taking up arms against their previous owners.

“Actually the Emancipation Proclamation did facilitate a massive slave rebellion, as slaves walked off their plantations and joined the United States Army, taking up arms against their previous owners.”

That’s the argument of Steven Hahn at the University of Pennsylvania. He’s pretty much alone in that position as he’s just rebadging the US Colored Troops with a label of ‘slave rebellion’ to make his case.
