I asked him what he was going to do for June Teen-th?
He replied “What is June Teen-th?”.
I told him the Emancipation Proclamation and asked him “ Didn't they tell you’ll in Mississippi?”.
I did not know it was a Texas date.
Funny how my thoughts paralleled Bubba Leroy when I read the “article”. Hmmm, contains no real facts. Hence, must be about: (choose one), minorities, illegals, or muslims. Nope, won’t hear about this on Katie’s nightly bimbo report.
Here is something interesting...
President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared “that all persons held as slaves” within the rebellious states “are, and henceforward shall be free.”
The Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control.
What that means is that All throughout the war...The slaves in the north... were stilled enslaved by law...US law!!! So where is their “look at us ...we yankees are so rightious...We freed the slaves”. Sorry, but that didn’t happen until after the war, and after the slaves in the south had been freed by the proclamation 3 years earlier. YES, the slaves in the south were freed FIRST!
AND... He freed the slaves to win the war. Look up Horace greely’s letter “the lives of 20 million”.. and then read lincolns response.
..just thought I would add something interesting
