no different because they were still for the most part slaves, just not legally. those who were feed were still not safe because there were many instances of people killing freedmen in the south.
they felt good they had food to eat. freeing someone from the control of another; especially a parent's relinquishing authority and control over a minor child.
Defiant and unrepentant. (Think KKK). Many Southerners still consider themselves Confederates to this day, and the Stars and Bars still flies over the South.

they probably felt like their presedent only cared for the slaves he did free
He freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation that said slaves could no longer be kept in the rebel states, also known as the South. Lincoln freed the slaves to try to keep the North fighting and to force the South back into the United States, Lincoln wanted to send all the slaves to central america because he did not believe whites and blacks should live together, Lincoln also was a slave owner.
I think you may be a little confused. The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves that were in areas that were- AT THAT TIME- in rebellion against the Union. Not the slaves rebelling, but the states or parts of states where slaves lived,
It was a proclamation issued by Lincoln which freed all the slaves in states which were in rebellion (that is, the Confederate states during the Civil War). Lincoln threatened to free the slaves as a way to leverage the Confederacy into rejoining the Union. The Confederates refused. Lincoln followed through on his threat. Despite what many think, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves, only those in states which had seceded. Slaves in other states had to wait until the adoption of the 13th Amendment before they received their freedom.
how do you think! HE FREED THE SLAVES
When he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, he freed all the slaves in Union-controlled states and territories at the time (I don't think he freed slaves in the border states, because, for example, Kentucky's massive supply of cannons was far too valuable to lose). He couldn't (and didn't) do anything about confederate slaves. Of course, however, all slaves were freed with the passing of the 13th Amendment, which I believe came after the Civil War ended in 1865.
They might not have known much about it. If they did, they would probably have realised that the Proclamation didn't free many slaves anywhere. It was mainly a tactic to stop Britain and France from aiding the South. (It would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)

Your question doesn't make sense. If you are talking about freeing the slaves in the United States, that was done by Congress and the States with the 13th Amendment. Many people think Abraham Lincoln did that with his "Emancipation Proclamation," but that actually freed no one.
Before the war Lincoln just wanted to stop the spread of slaves, believing states that already had slave should be able to keep their slaves.(that's totaly not cool for some one that wanted to put an end to slavery) During the war, Lincoln at first didn't want his generals to free slaves in the south and only later did so to weaken the Confederacy. Don't be confused and think the Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves, it only freed slaves in the Confederacy to weaken their defenses. Lincoln said it himself the would continue with slavery, free all the slaves or just free some as long as it preserved the Union.- Demetrice Hanson
Not everyone agrees on an answer to this question. Some think that he was the great liberator and that he freed the slaves because he knew it was wrong. However some believe that he only freed the slaves as a military stategy and that he only freed the slaves (emancipation proclamation) in order to weaken the confederacy. This way the North could win the war and preserve the union.
Yes, the Emancipation Proclamation did a lot of good. For one, it freed the slaves in the border states. It also freed the slaves in the rebelling states and throughout the Federal Union. The Proclamation would also ban indentured servitude, and prevent any American from selling themselves for profit.
