I think practically speaking they didn't know about it. News didn't really travel between the North and South other than maybe newspapers being carried out by spies and I'm not sure anyone in the south would want to be caught with a Northern paper and vice versa so i'm guessing news would mainly have been by word of mouth. I'm not sure the Emancipation Proclamation meant too much until Lee's Army was defeated. Had Lee's Army prevailed the Emacipation would have gone down with the Union Army and just have been a piece of paper.

Take it from someone born and raised in the south they did not like it but can you blame them everything they knew and were raised learning was taken away from them but they had to accept it and learn to change but you cant blame the south for everything because after the slaves were set free there was still discrimination up north.

They were probably very angry, but many of the former slaves still worked there for years because they had no other place to go and no other job skills, I think they renamed them to sharecroppers
