JUNETEENTH IS AN INCONSEQUENTIAL HOLIDAY
Fact: Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of a bloody civil war.
The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
Due to a confluence of factors, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and announced General Order No. 3, which declared that all slaves in Texas were free.
While the date has historical significance to blacks in Texas, the holiday was codified as a federal holiday, enshrining June 19 as the national day to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States, as part of a progressive communist democrat scheme to pander to the black voting block and signed into law by Democrat President Biden on June 17, 2021. Widely celebrated by all federal employees as another paid holiday.
Bottom line...
Juneteenth is just another progressive communist democrat attempt to divide this nation by race and color.
We are so screwed.
