    Mexicans owned texas and lost it fighting white slave owners, when texas was in mexico 10000 black slaves ran into texas scared out of their minds running from slavery. Mexico didnt allow white slave owners to come into mexico to get their slaves because in tejas = texas mexico it was against the law to have slaves in mexico. White slave owners were infuriated, starting the Mexican and American war. Mexico lost texas, colorado ,utah, New Mexico , nevada, Arizona, California and Oregon. Mexico lost many mexicans in the mexican and American war. Mexico stood its ground protecting your black ancestors. Also 10000 mexican americans fought in the civil war to free your black ancestors.without mexicans there would be no Juneteenth in texas?

      It's true that Mexico had abolished slavery by 1829, which led to tensions with American settlers who wanted to bring enslaved people into Texas.
      Their contributions in the Civil War and their role in fighting for freedom are also crucial parts of this history. Their efforts helped pave the way for the eventual end of slavery in the United States.

    I’m just gonna leave this piece of information right here, “After failing for 130 years to ratify the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery except as punishment for crime, the state of Mississippi finally ratified the Thirteenth Amendment on March 16, 1995.”

      You are correct, however understanding history helps us recognize the long-term effects and injustices that continue to shape our society. Acknowledging this history isn't about playing the victim; it's about learning from it to create a better future for everyone.
      Thank you for sharing your perspective.
