Do you believe any of that's accurate? That they were "freed later"?
Yes, I do believe that. Thought it couldn’t be true, but just a bit of research shows it is true.
Did Lincoln exempt Texas slaves from the Emancipation Proclamation?

They were "freed" to exactly the same extent as every OTHER slave held in Confederate territory ... not at all. An EO by a foreign leader did not change the law in the Confederacy. Military conquest did so.
