Slaves grew rice in swampy areas.
Rags and a little piece of cloth to cover their modest areas
NO, but in the southern areas of Texas they have groups that are still trying to win segregation back.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared that all enslaved people in Confederate territory were to be legally and permanently free. However, it did not immediately free all slaves, as it only applied to areas under Confederate control during the Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1865, officially abolished slavery throughout the entire country.
The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1st, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation was directed to the areas of the United States in rebellion, and freed the slaves in those areas.
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,

The document that President Abraham Lincoln used to free the slaves was called the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed slaves in the rebelling Southern states only, not border states. They were freed later. As Lincoln had no authority to free slaves, this was a war measure. The results were that slaves in areas captured by Union forces were freed.
No. The Emancipation Proclamation, written by Abraham Lincoln, declared all slaves in the CONFEDERATE states free. This did no good because the confederate states were not in Lincoln's control at the time. This document said nothing about the UNION slaves, though. A couple of the states fighting on Lincoln's side still had slaves, and the emancipation proclamation did not set them free.

The Emancipation Proclamation freed those enslaved people who had not already freed themselves in Rebel-held states, but not border states where slavery was also legal.
It was the South that accepted slavery as their culture, but importing slaves came through different areas of the States. New Jersey was against slavery! There were indeed slaves in NJ.
It freed slaves ONLY in areas that- at that time- were in rebellion against the US. If those areas were in rebellion, they would ignore pronouncements from the US government.
