Juneteenth
President Biden made June 19th a Federal Holiday on June 17, 2021.
The slave owners in Galveston, Texas, deliberately hid the news of the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1865, from enslaved people to maintain forced labor. There was no one to enforce the law until Major General Granger arrived on June 19 with 2,000 Union Troops to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation for enslaved people.
I wondered why the Democrats celebrate an event that paints them in a negative light. A National Holiday commemorating the Republican defeat of the Democratic institution of slavery?
I found out why the Democrats celebrate their failure. Get ready for it, the parties switched. Yes, indeed, many liberal democrat followers fervently believe that the two parties switched. The Pro-Slavery Democrats are now the Anti-Slavery party, and the Republican Party, created to free the slaves, is now the Pro-Slavery party, or as the democrats like to express it, the racist party.
They have one senator and the name of one congressional representative who switched parties. The Democrats assert that as evidence that the party switched as a collective.
The parties had not switched when the Democrats voted against the 13th Amendment to free the slaves.
The parties had not switched when the Democrats voted against the 14th Amendment to make freed slaves citizens.
The parties had not switched when the Democrats voted against the 15th Amendment to allow freed slaves to vote.
I’ll skip the various civil rights legislation leading up to the 1964 Voting Rights Act, where the Democrats conducted the longest Democrat filibuster against the Civil Rights Act, and a Republican senator broke the Democrat filibuster.

Comments welcome.
More importantly, it is Moe Howard’s Birthday.
You are correct in your statements and in your conclusion.
If they weren't stupid, we wouldn't have a chance against the never-ending tide of corruption, lies, and calumny.
Niagara Falls!
I saw a history book for kids, and every time they mentioned a Republican who did something good in history, the book would say, “Remember, the parties switched.” The bias was obvious.
Because the media will hide it and many people only read headlines.
Another Fed holiday to divide the races.
Abolish the phoney-baloney Ebonics “Juneteenth” and move the Federal holiday to Election Day.
Celebrate emancipation through electoral participation.
Leaders of the 1964 Civil Rights act Senate filibuster include:
Robert C. Byrd (D-WV): Delivered a single, 14-hour and 13-minute address to stall the bill’s progress
Richard Russell (D-GA): The primary leader of the Southern caucus who organized and directed the filibuster. The Russell Senate Office Building is named after him.
J. William Fulbright (D-AR) : Bill Clinton’s mentor
The parties didn’t switch. But the left has done a remarkable job of convincing a lot of people that they did.
They point to Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” to secure the Democrat-leaning South in his 1968 and 1972 campaigns as the key events of the “switch.”
Reinforced when the television networks switched the colors of the Democrat and Republican (from red to blue and vice-versa) in their coverage of Presidential and Senatorial campaigns in 2000.
Both superficial and false “reasons” for the “switch.”
noun
June·teenth ˌjün-ˈtēn(t)th : June 19 observed as a legal holiday in the United States in commemoration of the Rebublicans freeing Black People from slavery by the Democrats in the United States.
.
Like Kwanza another event to ignore.
Robert Byrd is screaming from Hell, “Don’t mention my name!”
I always hear people say, Strom Thurmond changed from Democrat to Republican. He apparently is the poster boy for the alleged switch of parties from Democrat to Republican in the south.
Once upon a time a Texas Democrat was more conservative than a Northeastern Republican.
