Original Note:
The etymology claim is not supported by the citation in the next tweet. The phrase must have been well known in 1836 for the writer to make a (harsh) joke that depends on already knowing its meaning. There is no reason to think the phrase has anything to do with slavery. https://www.etymonline.com/word/knock%20up
