That *some* white people refused to come out and meet Judy I don't recall ever saying anything about *all* white
people hating Lincoln because of his emancipation proclamation. It was not a
popular move in the North with the exception of the abolitionists. People in the
north only feared that move would make the south even more resolved in
their decision to ceased. Almost nobody was sending their sons off to fight and
die for the freedom of slaves, but rather to fight and die to
preserve the union. The abolitionist movement was not that big , but
it was very vocal. Kind of like the gay rights movement in the democratic party
today.
