During the Emancipation Proclamation, the rebelling states were primarily those that seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. These included South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. The proclamation declared the freedom of enslaved people in these states, although it did not immediately free all enslaved individuals, as it applied only to areas in rebellion against the federal government.
