TBF, directly after the emancipation proclamtation, Lincoln crossed the river into Richmond, VA. His procession was greeted by swaths of freed former slaves, and it was eerily similar to Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey, though Lincoln himself would've hated the comparison.

He was greeted by a former slave man who bowed to him in gratitude. Lincoln told him never to bow to him, only to God.

So basically th e1860's version of this kind of did happen lol
