Suppose in 1862 a large scale slave rebellion occurred somewhere in the Deep South. Would the North view these slaves as allies against the Confederacy or as another faction of rebels that will have to be defeated to regain control of the country? How would they view the Union pre-Emancipation Proclamation? Is there any chance that the revolt could be successful with the Confederate Army's attention divided between them and the North?
