When the defense of liberty becomes a crime, tyranny is already in force. At that
point, failure to defend liberty makes slavery a certainty."

Juneteenth, a name coming from two words put toghether, June and the suffix, "teenth", as in "Nineteenth" Juneteenth is the celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the
United States, June 19th 1865.
Two months earlier. The assassination of
United States President Abraham Lincoln took place on
Good Friday, April 14, 1865, as the
American Civil War was drawing to a close. The assassination occurred five days after the commander of the
Confederate Army of Northern Virginia,
General Robert E. Lee, surrendered to
Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant and the
Union Army of the
Potomac, near DC & the
White House. By the time
Union soldiers led by
General Gordon Granger arrived in
Galveston, the
South had surrendered to end the
Civil War and
Lincoln was dead, with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.
General Granger's regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance. There are historical accounts that show some
Texas blacks remained in bondage for months after Granger's announcement, but that act effectively ended slavery in
America.
Note that this was two and a half years after
President Lincoln's
Emancipation Proclamation - which had become official
January 1, 1863.
Masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and free laborer."The reactions to this profound news ranged from pure shock to immediate jubilation. While many lingered to learn of this new employer to employee relationship ,& were asked to stay where they were, many left before these offers were completely off the lips of their former 'masters' -the desire to reach family members in neighboring states drove the some into
Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma &
North.
Respect is paid for the sufferings of slavery. It is a day on which we acknowledge the evils of slavery and its aftermath
..continues..today. Jailing
Political prisoners & whistle blowers & non-vilonent, victim less crimes.
Free all marijuana prisoners.
We are not free until we are all free, it's an on going fight.
