Answer: 4 million slaves

With the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, nearly 4 million slaves were free people by the end of the war, more than 360,000 of them in North Carolina. Despite their lack of schooling, these African Americans demonstrated a clear vision of what they wanted and a strong determination to get it.
