[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The end of slavery isn’t specific to Texas, but Juneteenth is. The more logical date to celebrate would be the ratification of the 13th amendment, which legally ended slavery for everyone in the US. [/quote] This. They chose the wrong date.[/quote] :roll: No, it's perfect. It's the date that represents all enslaved people (in the US) being free. No one left behind. [/quote] But not really. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in states in rebellion. The news reaching Galveston was about the EP. But the amendment legally freeing ALL slaves was formally ratified at the end of 1865, AFTER June 19, 1865. [/quote]
