It’s probably a good thing Texas got the word on the 19th instead of the 20th. JuneTwenth doesn’t have the same cachet as JuneTeenth.
Some people can do sarcasm pretty well. Obviously Coulter cannot.

How about “Julyth”?
Heck, I’ll just go grab some poor kid who is waiting for his front teeth to come back in to make some more up for me!
It should be touted as democrat redemption day. Democrats and fellow communists world wide seek forgiveness for enslaving and murdering millions of people.
Who’s got the balls to introduce a bill designating Jan. 6 as a federal holiday? Ashli Babbit Day.

Damn right!
“Although President Lincoln officially ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, it wasn’t until two years later, on June 19, 1865, that the slaves of Galveston, Texas, got the news . . .”
Even Ann should know the EP didn’t officially end slavery.
The United States clung to slavery well after the disaster at Appomattox; well after June 19.

Technically no, there were exemptions including Deleware which didn’t give up slavery until DECEMBER 1865.
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.
