I am very sure you are right about the Juneteenth... Many younger people in Texas think of it as a chance to eat some BBQ and homemade potato salad, but if one knows the history, it is a day of very special meaning... I think Cinco de Mayo, Bastille Day, Victory in Europe day, and the day the Wall came down in Berlin...same feeling and significance...

It's just that these damn myths (actually left-wing lies) about Lincoln and the EP drive me nuts. The real history is so damn easy to check but millions rely on race-bating Marxist propaganda instead. I even see it repeated here nearly every day which is very sad.

The bottom line is that the EP freed millions.
