Correct! And out of curiosity where is the holiday honoring the American Indian? They have more right to have a federal holiday then those freaking idiots who want to change everything about America. I am so sick and tired of the Woe is me chip America stinks on their shoulder mantra! Sick of it!
Bkmk
Same on Chicago Fake News Channels - highly paid community activists immediately fired off the “it’s not enough” shot.
It will NEVER be enough.
Juneteenth. Meanwhile, the slaves in one of those slave states that remained in the Union, still had to wait six months till the 13th Amendment was ratified before becoming free.
Most had already been freed, but Delaware was the holdout.
Ooh, I like that. Saying that in a group will cause at least the thinkers to mutter “Say what?”
As to activists, give them nothing. Budge not an inch. No compromise with evil. Call BS on everything they say. Treat them like they work at CNN.
Trump proposed it as a National holiday.
Thanks, TM!
HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
