Let's turn it around on them. June 19th is when Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were hanged for supplying nuclear secrets to Communist Russia.
Birth control, social media, and women competing for sluttery instead of slut-shaming have accomplished the devastation of the family -- that which Dem Presidehnt Lyndon Baines Johnson's "Great Society" programs did not do.
While I'm on my soapbox, much of the abolitionist argument had an element of blacks and whites being in it together. When white Americans were captured into slavery by Barbary pirates, it inflamed Americans. The abolitionists here used that to say that slavery of whites is wrong and worth getting mad about, just like slavery of blacks. One of the most vocal abolitionists was Captain James Riley of the cargo ship Commerce -- a white man who was captured as a slave, escaped, and used his experience to push abolitionism. The 300K to 500K black slaves brought to what we today call the U.S. was trumped by the 700K to 1.2 million whites captured by Berber pirates and brought to north Africa as slaves. People back then knew it was a problem for both races and the abolitionists had no problem reminding people as such.
” Not until the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865, were those people truly and legally freed.”
I have been saying this for years. Those FIVE Slave states and Washington D.C. that remained in the UNION slowly abolished slavery, Maryland and Delaware the last hold outs till Dec 1865.
That has about the same chance. This article is pure race-baiting; replacing July 4 is fantasy. The whole month of June has been co-opted.
Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms identified to be irradicated or dominated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity. The adherents to this philosophy must regard pseudo-economics and pseudo-science as a doxology; a liturgical expression of praise to their god. It must be continually repeated by those adhering to the faith of Social Marxism in order to retain the veneer of rationalism over a fundamentally irrational worldview.
The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value. We saw at the Constitutional Convention an understanding that true compassion, true leadership arises from understanding how very few individuals cannot create, encourage, explore, restore, repair, analyze, develop, build, and nurture as they exercise their intangible natural liberties. This vision was translated into our Constitution, which rely upon fallible individuals to both lead and reside within governments and private institutions committed to promoting human spirituality and rejecting the fiction of infallible human elites determining actions.
Since the emergence of independent colonies and for all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms. Their ethnicity, gender, class, and race would always be secondary expressions of humanity. The notion that true humanity required material possessions found no merit.
Agreed. And I didn’t realize it until I read Pastor Weld’s Bible Against Slavery. He made a case that slavery in the Old Testament was mainly like what we today call voluntary servitude. Certainly not chattel slavery as was going on in Weld’s day.
Juneteenth: A day when “we” celebrate the occasion of a bunch of illiterates learning that they had been granted freedom (a concept that they did not, and most of their descendants do not, understand) on a silver platter paid for with the blood and treasure of other people (toward whom they felt, and most of their descendants feel, no sense of gratitude). It is a celebration of ignorance, arrogance, and undeserved entitlement.
His statement was the same type of thing for which Phil Sherdan was rebuked by Johnson. Johnson believed he had included political terms in the surrender of Johnston. Freeing the slaves is clearly a political issue.

In May 1963 I attended an NAACP meeting in Chicago suburbs. Half the group was planning for a Junteenth celebration.
The other half objected because Junteenth was a Republican event intended to rub salt in the wounds of Democrats.
Of course, in 1963 June 19 was not a holiday and few were even aware of it.
History is funny. The Tulsa race riots were conducted by Pro Woodrow Wilson, Pro Jennings Bryan Democrats against Republicans. But that is never mentioned.
My daughter’s highschool texbooks were totally inaccurate about the Vietnam War and the War on Poverty...blaming Nixon for LBJs war. I am not a fan of Nixon but the textbooks were unbelievable.
History is funny. History is controlled by those who ......
You’d have better odds of replacing Christmas with Holocaust Remembrance Day.

If you didn’t read that link, you should. A landowner was to manage his servants in such a way that he could trust them with everything he owns for an entire year while he was away on Sabbatical. An accurate and complete understanding of Exodus 23:11 was the foundation for Matthew 25.
Celebrate: "Republicans Freed the Slaves Month"!
