Tthe fuck is a juneteenth?

"They" got pissy that President Trump did a campaign speech on June 19th.

People because racist because we didn't know why it was a big deal, or even acknowledge that it was a deal at all.

Then "they" made it a holiday.
 
Also happens to be the wifey and my anniversary. 25 years on Wed. and we haven't killed each other yet... :laughing:

Unlike a large proportion of the people who celebrate that made up holiday who off each other on a regular basis and the media tends to ignore it... :flipoff2:
 
From Historian Brion McClanahan

"Hereditary slavery did not end in the United States until December 6, 1865, the ratification date of the 13th Amendment. Slave auctions continued in Kentucky through November 1865, five months after slavery supposedly ended on June 19th, 1865. If the last slaves were told they were free on June 19th, then what about slaves sold into slavery AFTER that point? Would be news to them. Delaware, Kentucky, and New Jersey (all slave States in 1865) rejected the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, and slavery was legal in each State until December, six months after June 19th, 1865. By the way, Delaware, Kentucky, and New Jersey were technically all UNION States during the War, though Kentucky was a special case and could be considered a Confederate State as well. Only Mississippi rejected the 13th Amendment from the former Confederate States. That means THREE Union States and only one Confederate State rejected the amendment that ended slavery after the War. So much for the theory that the Union fought the war to free the slaves, even after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863."

The Emancipation Proclamation specifically excluded emancipation in Union states yet that always gets skipped right over in any history class or discussion.

Vividly remember actually reading the full thing in history while the teacher was talking then being told to stop being distuptive when asking about that part when she asked if we had any questions. :homer:

No shit. And my parents wondered why I didn't give a shit by middle school. Anytime I read more into what was being taught and asked questions that was the type of response I always got.

Sorry for reading more of the text book you gave me and applying the critical thinking skills you made me learn. :laughing:

Generally the narrative is what gets recorded, think about how accurate most of directly recorded history really is?
