Juneteenth has been celebrated for over 150 years
But most American’s don’t have any idea of its significance.
It’s well known that on
January 1, 1863
President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation become official
But nearly two and a half years after the new law was instated, far too many African American people were still not feeling liberated, a great number still subject to the American slave trade.
Did you know, As a legal matter, slavery officially ended in the United States on Dec. 6, 1865, when the 13th Amendment was ratified and became a part of the Constitution.
the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
Before the 13th amendment, and only Under the provisions of the Emancipation Proclamation,
Executive order only freed slaves in parts of the South that were not under control of the Union Army.
The economy of the 1800s depended on rice, cotton and sugar cane plantations
Planation owners deliberately ignored the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 until June 19th 1865.
On that date, Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston Texas
the arrival of General Granger’s regiment and forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the rebel army resistance
The union army could now enforce the new Executive Order of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas.
One of General Granger’s first orders of business was to read to the people of Texas, General Order Number 3 which read:
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves.”
The civil war had ended and the enslaved were now actually free.
Juneteenth gets its name from the events that happened on June 19th in 1865
Recounting the memories of that great day of June 19th, 1865
