It's a euphemistic reference to a 1775 proclamation by John Murray (4th Earl Dunmore), the (British) Royal governor of Virginia, offering freedom to any slaves of Patriot owners who fled their masters and joined British forces. The proclamation enraged slaveowners and other white Virginians, and also caused great worry about the possibility of a slave rebellion.
