President Abraham Lincoln issued Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, in the midst of the Civil War. Freedom for the South's slaves, however only came with the end of the conflict, April 1865.

"Thank God we are in His care" WE ALAWAYS CELEBRATED FOR DECADES IN MAY , FREEDOM OF SLAVES WAS NOT A JOKE BUT A BIG CELEBRATION
@@SatansSimgma for my family we have been celebrating freedom of slaves before I was born and my family since Freedom. Our family just celebrated in May . It's more important to us than the 4th of July. I grew up knowing my history. America schools don't teach all of America history. My parents and grandparents taught me our people history. For example, Jack Daniel was created by a slave name Nathaniel. There were many slaves inventions that their owners took credit for look it up.
It’s a day of celebration with the looting and vandalizing of a McDonald’s in Los Angeles, with a mass shooting in Illinois, of illegally riding dirt bikes and quads in the street and of jumping up and down on cars! That’s what it is!
Juneteenth does not represent the end of slavery in America, as it is often erroneously reported. It specifically notes the end of slavery in Texas. Slavery continued to thrive in several border states that were not affected by the Emancipation Proclamation. Delaware was the last to free its nearly 2,000 slaves on Dec. 6, 1865, six months after Texas.

The ignorance displayed by many of the comments here is astounding. Juneteenth wasn't celebrated openly for years because of Jim Crow laws and the harassment Black people experienced when attempting to assemble to celebrate this memorable occasion. The vitriol in the comments here explains why people are not knowledgeable about the significance of Juneteenth to African-American people. You can only learn if you are interested in learning. If you are interested in holding on to what you already know, you are choosing now to grow in your understanding.
Right. So when I was growing up in the 70's in urban central Ohio and going to public schools, my african american classmates (and thier parents) were afraid to celebrate this? Wow. I never knew how much they struggled as we lived next door to each other. Sounds like coat tail riding victimhood to me. Today's african americans have little in common with their brave ancestors who actually made a difference.
Michelle - institutional ignorance also explains why I didn't learn about the Greenwood Massacre in history classes. I was shocked when I saw it portrayed in a television show and immediately thought it was a highly imaginative work of fiction....many Google searches later, I was ashamed that such an important event was suppressed from our national memory for so long.
I think Juneteenth started out with good intentions but it's turned into a holiday that's all about entitlement which is not what it was originally intended.
I’m black and I approve if this message lol. I think it’s a useless day, I was fine before it and nothing has changed because of it! Just another day for us Americans to close down business and be lazy and not work! Thai would’ve been great if it was during school time tho😂
If this has been a celebrated holiday why am I only hearing about it now at 36 yrs old??? Social studies and American history were my favorite classes in school and I don't remember hearing about this "Juneteenth" much less celebrating it... Further more my son's birthday is June 19 and every year the last passed 12 years I've checked a calendar to see what day it falls on and barely till 2021 have I seen it marked on my phone's calendar as a "holiday"... This seems like a lazy way to mark a historical date.

@@Woozler554 nah because their are notable advantages of the justice system that favored White ppl, ex. crack vs coke in the 1980's., vagrancy laws of Jim Crow era. it's the internet this is all public information
Summary : A holiday where we celebrate how Republicans gave people rights they should’ve always had in the first place. =) PS : Take note how Texas, a reliably red state, has had this holiday for decades before blue states decided it was politically advantageous to promote it & ironically appropriate it.
Complain either way huh? Typical. This is why media is going to be extra rude and obnoxious. Social Justice woke complainers and virtue signals. Calm down . Lol
No. It’s a holiday that celebrates how Republicans/Christians fought, and died to free the slaves. Fought against Democrats. Every last Democrat succeeded from the union and joined the Confederacy. Save 1. Abraham Lincoln‘s Vice President Andrew Johnson. They got the colors backwards on the map. Our modern day media....
Every single state, red and blue, recognizes or observes this holiday. About half of the states now recognize it as a paid public holiday and these are a mix of red and blue states, northern, southern, eastern, western states.
Although slavery is a stain on our nation's history, celebrating the Union's actions to free Texas slaves is worth celebrating. Hooray for the Republic!
Ty, you've taught an Australian something new. I had heard the term "juneteenth", and thought "I wonder what that's all about?" now I know 👍cheers again
Because School’s don’t want to teach it.The black community has always celebrated this.If you look it up on UA-cam there’s parades and festivals for this.Its just now getting Recognization :)
I use the holiday to reflect what life would be like if the south won, mourn the confederates (democrats) that died fighting for their beliefs, and look at how much of a joke their culture has become since then.
For most states other than Texas it may have been celebrated, but known as something else. My family in Wisconsin celebrated Emancipation Day/Jubilee and people in Wisconsin have been celebrating since 1886. Some states in the US actually emancipated enslaved people long before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed so dates vary and the names used differ (Jubilee/Emancipation Day). Pennsylvania and New York, freed enslaved people gradually in the late 1700s so the holiday is not new and did not begin with Texas and sadly Texas was not the last state to free enslaved people in the US. Now most people will call it Juneteenth.
I think 'Juneteenth' is a stupid name. I'd prefer 'Abolition Day' or 'Freedom Day' or something like that so it properly honors the occasion. Juneteenth sounds dumb and ignorant.
It has a long historical precedent - I'm happy to stick with the traditional name and every single U.S. Senator, Republican and Democrat, supported the traditional name as well by enacting the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act in 2021.
Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden supported the traditional name as well. In fact, President Trump's 2020 campaign platform stated: Make Juneteenth a National Holiday
The 13 amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18. The Civil War April 1865 so for the word to get out by June isn't that long really considering technology of the time.
Pony express could get a messages from St. Louis to San Francisco in 10 days. Samuel Morse established international code for telegraph in 1861. Only seconds to transmit messages across country. This information took 2 years and 3 months to get to Texas
@@dingotookmybaby1204 Texas was not under the jurisdiction of the US government until April of 1865. A letter from the president of another country doesn't hold any standing.
Juneteenth is slaves in Texas being informed of the Emancipation Proclamation and not the 13th Amendment. It also had nothing to do with ending slavery in the United States, slavery in the United States, in the states of Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, & West Virginia, was still going on for nearly 6 months after slaves in Texas were told they were free and I think Maryland also had slaves that hold time.
Of the slave owners who went against the freedom act than tell me why these slave owners were not convicted and sent to jail!! Unfairness has permeated throughout our nation! Evil permeates now! Stop
My first reaction was that it represented Unity, but since it's been used by almost every political movement, I guess it's effectively one of those "Psych Test" things where what you read into it reveals more about yourself than it does the actual symbol.

@@ryanw1433 The stars and cross causing so much controversy now. Don't overthink things if you don't know how to answer a simple statement. Unless you've lived under a rock you know which I meant
It's only a "black holiday" if you see it that way and get offended by everything. From what this video said and everything I've learned about Juneteenth it basically is a celebration for the end of the Civil War, pretty significant moment in the U.S. in my opinion.
@@ajmari9585 It's a celebration for African Americans, it's not celebrating end of civil war. They could care less about the whites along with the blks that lost their lives.
So if this was the end of slavery, how come it can’t be forgotten about like it everything else???????? Everyone seems to want to forget or cancel everything these days, why not add this to the list???????? One less thing to be bothered with.
@Junie Bob If the country is “systematically oppressive”, how come there’s been a BLACK president and presently there’s a BLACK vice president. I don’t believe that would have happened in an oppressive country. Black peoples can have all the opportunities as any other race.
@Junie Bob Yes I ve noticed all the oppressed millionaire athletes and politicians in this country. Its horrible Something needs to be done. Happy Juneteenth
It should commemorate the 365,000 white, mostly very young, Union soldiers that died so that black slaves could be free. 'Cause blacks sure didn't free themselves. A holiday in which blacks show gratitude and humility instead of smoldering resentment and a limitless sense of entitlement would greatly improve their collective character.
Good Point. I do not understand why these dates in history still want to fuel animosity and anger? At this juncture, isn't it better to be aware of the costs of everyone's lives to insure blacks were freed?
@@Musiclover-bg2nn I believe its the media who divide us. I also agree with Mark Creemore that everyone who was part of this history should be mentioned and honored.
This is just wrong. The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to states in rebellion and only where union soldiers could enforce it, since the proclamation was unconstitutional until the passage of the 13th Amendment in December of 1865. The Proclamation didn't take effect until Jan 1863. The ending of the war in April of 1865, enabled the Union to enforce by arms the end of slavery except in Texas and Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. Arrival of Union troops in Texas in June of 1865 enforced the end of slavery there. It wasn't until July of 1866, when the US government negotiated a new treaty with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations that slavery ended in those lands. As for the official constitutional end of slavery, that occurred when the 13th Amendment was ratified in December of 1865. So, to fixate on June 19th as a national celebration makes no sense. As a Texas celebration, it makes sense. So what do we make of the dates of Jan 1863, April 1865 and December of 1865?
Sharing this history is important. But equally important is having facts correct. The video states that the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was passed in 1863, this is not correct. The 13th was passed by the Senate in 1864, passed by the House of Representatives in early 1865 and then ratified that same year.
Too bad it really wasn't the end of slavery in the United States, that didn't happen until 6 months later on December 6, 1865. I have no problem with the end of slavery being a national holiday but I do have a problem with it being celebrated on the wrong date. Also lets not forget that Africans were still enslaving other Africans for decades after slaves were freed in the U.S..
@@jennifermack5804 I have a full blooded Indian in my family but it seems it's not enough Native Americans in USA for votes. Biden just uses races for votes. I wish this evil would leave our country, evil is spreading everywhere and I don't see happy people much anymore, all anger and evil. Awful!
@@scoobymc3375 I understand completely, seems like as soon as he took office the whole world turned on end. It makes me feel like I'm living in the twilight zone. Good is evil and evil is good now. Everyone seem to have lost there minds.
Of note several native tribes continued to hold slaves after this. The last official slaves in the US were held by the Choctaw tribe which had also fought on the side of the Confederates. The tribe ended it nearly a year after Juneteenth when the US government paid the natives 5 million dollars to release their slaves as part of a new treaty. Happy to hear those originally celebrating it also honored the emancipation proclamation as it was a major milestone towards ending slavery. Of course today it's being exploited by the left for political gain but we shouldn't let that take anything away from our brothers and sisters of African decent who celebrate it.
What is Juneteenth? OMG really how to get you to keep living in the past and always see yourself as a victim so you cant move forward in your life. Its not a good thing
19 June was the Celebration in Texas, only. No other state, celebrated this day, And maybe people who left Texas and went to other states! So if you know it was June 19, why did you celebrate June 20 2022!
I’m not celebrating Juneteenth. I was born free....39 years ago. 🙄 My family didn’t come from Texas...we were never slaves, we owned land as far back as 1700’s in Georgia & Alabama. We didn’t come from Africa. We are from this land. I understand Texans celebrating the holiday....but all black people didn’t come from the same tribe or continent. I have nothing against those who desire to celebrate their freedom from slavery. I’m not. I’m not giving credit to the govt. my natural born freedom always existed.
June teenth is a day were the law was enforced in Texas. So now homesexual have their own holyday also . 2 men going at from behind and changing the word phedophilia is called now attracted to young people.
Back then, Republicans were the progressives and the Democrats were the conservatives. It wasn't until the 1960's when the Republicans became more conservative.
@@pick1played07 the Republicans back then wanted to "conserve" the nation. they wanted to "conserve" freedom. all the democrats talk about today is race. they're obsessed with race i don't think there was a switch at all
Slavery did not end with the emancipation. Slavery did not end with the civil war. Slavery did not end with the reconstruction. Slavery did not end on June 19th. Slavery did not end. And we are going to celebrate the day it was stopped in Galveston Texas as if that was the day it was stopped everywhere? In reality there is more slavery in the world today then ever before and more man trafficking in the U.S. then ever before.
We are all economic slaves in the west. The plantation is just open air. It never went away. The elites just got better at manipulating and lying. This country and the west was built on the backs of White slave labor, pioneers, conquerors, not immigrants, not black slaves. The “right side of history” is indeed a farce.

What year did they pass the holiday Juneteenth?
Summary : A holiday where we celebrate how Republicans gave people rights they should’ve always had in the first place. =) PS : Take note how Texas, a reliably red state, has had this holiday for decades before blue states decided it was politically advantageous to promote it & ironically appropriate it.
Complain either way huh? Typical. This is why media is going to be extra rude and obnoxious. Social Justice woke complainers and virtue signals. Calm down . Lol
All black people do is complain, and yet somehow…they get their way.
No. It’s a holiday that celebrates how Republicans/Christians fought, and died to free the slaves. Fought against Democrats. Every last Democrat succeeded from the union and joined the Confederacy. Save 1. Abraham Lincoln‘s Vice President Andrew Johnson.
They got the colors backwards on the map. Our modern day media....
Because this happened in Texas, slaves were already free in other states
Every single state, red and blue, recognizes or observes this holiday. About half of the states now recognize it as a paid public holiday and these are a mix of red and blue states, northern, southern, eastern, western states.
98% of the states recognize Juneteenth - only S. Dakota has not.

Juneteenth is another excuse to play the victim
Spoken like a true racist
Celebrating the end of whatever was victimizing you is literally the exact opposite of playing victim.
Juneteenth is NOT the celebration of the end of slavery in the Americas - that's what Emancipation Day is for.
Although slavery is a stain on our nation's history, celebrating the Union's actions to free Texas slaves is worth celebrating. Hooray for the Republic!
Ty, you've taught an Australian something new. I had heard the term "juneteenth", and thought "I wonder what that's all about?" now I know 👍cheers again
I've never ever heard of this nor of black wall street up until recently. Why?

I use the holiday to reflect what life would be like if the south won, mourn the confederates (democrats) that died fighting for their beliefs, and look at how much of a joke their culture has become since then.
No better time to recognize and honor America's great leaders like Abraham Lincoln, and God bless the USA!!!
Leftists honored Juneteenth with a giant, twenty-five foot hair-pick unfortunately.
For most states other than Texas it may have been celebrated, but known as something else. My family in Wisconsin celebrated Emancipation Day/Jubilee and people in Wisconsin have been celebrating since 1886. Some states in the US actually emancipated enslaved people long before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed so dates vary and the names used differ (Jubilee/Emancipation Day). Pennsylvania and New York, freed enslaved people gradually in the late 1700s so the holiday is not new and did not begin with Texas and sadly Texas was not the last state to free enslaved people in the US. Now most people will call it Juneteenth.
I think 'Juneteenth' is a stupid name. I'd prefer 'Abolition Day' or 'Freedom Day' or something like that so it properly honors the occasion. Juneteenth sounds dumb and ignorant.
It has a long historical precedent - I'm happy to stick with the traditional name and every single U.S. Senator, Republican and Democrat, supported the traditional name as well by enacting the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act in 2021.
Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden supported the traditional name as well. In fact, President Trump's 2020 campaign platform stated: Make Juneteenth a National Holiday
Did they just misspell june 10 ???
The 13 amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18.
The Civil War April 1865 so for the word to get out by June isn't that long really considering technology of the time.
Pony express could get a messages from St. Louis to San Francisco in 10 days.
Samuel Morse established international code for telegraph in 1861.
Only seconds to transmit messages across country.
This information took 2 years and 3 months to get to Texas
@@dingotookmybaby1204 Texas was not under the jurisdiction of the US government until April of 1865. A letter from the president of another country doesn't hold any standing.
Juneteenth is slaves in Texas being informed of the Emancipation Proclamation and not the 13th Amendment. It also had nothing to do with ending slavery in the United States, slavery in the United States, in the states of Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, & West Virginia, was still going on for nearly 6 months after slaves in Texas were told they were free and I think Maryland also had slaves that hold time.
@@aCycloneSteve Correct- The confederacy was its own country.

It comes from Socialism/communism.
My first reaction was that it represented Unity, but since it's been used by almost every political movement, I guess it's effectively one of those "Psych Test" things where what you read into it reveals more about yourself than it does the actual symbol.

How many more black holidays will we have in 10 years?
It's only a "black holiday" if you see it that way and get offended by everything. From what this video said and everything I've learned about Juneteenth it basically is a celebration for the end of the Civil War, pretty significant moment in the U.S. in my opinion.
@@ajmari9585 It's a celebration for African Americans, it's not celebrating end of civil war. They could care less about the whites along with the blks that lost their lives.

Well white people had black slaves for centuries so I guess that's how long
When white people stop complaining!
So if this was the end of slavery, how come it can’t be forgotten about like it everything else???????? Everyone seems to want to forget or cancel everything these days, why not add this to the list???????? One less thing to be bothered with.
@Junie Bob If the country is “systematically oppressive”, how come there’s been a BLACK president and presently there’s a BLACK vice president. I don’t believe that would have happened in an oppressive country. Black peoples can have all the opportunities as any other race.
So useing your angry logic; let's forget all this type of stuff; like... I don't know; the Alamo?
Because it was a holiday in ONE state. Also, people don't understand the ENTIRE Juneteeth proclamation includes language like banning welfare.
@Junie Bob Yes I ve noticed all the oppressed millionaire athletes and politicians in this country. Its horrible Something needs to be done. Happy Juneteenth
@Junie Bob no, they arent.
Nobody mentions the people from the ( UNDERGROUND RAILROAD ) who helped slaves escape
It should commemorate the 365,000 white, mostly very young, Union soldiers that died so that black slaves could be free. 'Cause blacks sure didn't free themselves.
A holiday in which blacks show gratitude and humility instead of smoldering resentment and a limitless sense of entitlement would greatly improve their collective character.
Good Point. I do not understand why these dates in history still want to fuel animosity and anger? At this juncture, isn't it better to be aware of the costs of everyone's lives to insure blacks were freed?
@@Musiclover-bg2nn I believe its the media who divide us. I also agree with Mark Creemore that everyone who was part of this history should be mentioned and honored.

Union soldiers
Wow, they did fight, perhaps learn some history before garbage spews forth from that hole in your face
This is just wrong. The Emancipation Proclamation applied only to states in rebellion and only where union soldiers could enforce it, since the proclamation was unconstitutional until the passage of the 13th Amendment in December of 1865. The Proclamation didn't take effect until Jan 1863. The ending of the war in April of 1865, enabled the Union to enforce by arms the end of slavery except in Texas and Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations. Arrival of Union troops in Texas in June of 1865 enforced the end of slavery there. It wasn't until July of 1866, when the US government negotiated a new treaty with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations that slavery ended in those lands. As for the official constitutional end of slavery, that occurred when the 13th Amendment was ratified in December of 1865. So, to fixate on June 19th as a national celebration makes no sense. As a Texas celebration, it makes sense. So what do we make of the dates of Jan 1863, April 1865 and December of 1865?
Working on Minneapolis Minnesota to be the next all American city 😂
Sharing this history is important. But equally important is having facts correct. The video states that the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was passed in 1863, this is not correct. The 13th was passed by the Senate in 1864, passed by the House of Representatives in early 1865 and then ratified that same year.
Blackmail matters

Today Juneteenth became a federal holiday!!!❤️✊🏾
when is white history month?
Too bad it really wasn't the end of slavery in the United States, that didn't happen until 6 months later on December 6, 1865. I have no problem with the end of slavery being a national holiday but I do have a problem with it being celebrated on the wrong date. Also lets not forget that Africans were still enslaving other Africans for decades after slaves were freed in the U.S..

Juneteenth…. What a joke
Slavery never ended it just changed tactics.
The oldest known celebration? Is that why it started this year? Cut the crap.
That is called segregation we all live under God not black and white
Of note several native tribes continued to hold slaves after this. The last official slaves in the US were held by the Choctaw tribe which had also fought on the side of the Confederates. The tribe ended it nearly a year after Juneteenth when the US government paid the natives 5 million dollars to release their slaves as part of a new treaty.
Happy to hear those originally celebrating it also honored the emancipation proclamation as it was a major milestone towards ending slavery. Of course today it's being exploited by the left for political gain but we shouldn't let that take anything away from our brothers and sisters of African decent who celebrate it.

Slavery did not end with the reconstruction.
Slavery did not end on June 19th.
Slavery did not end. And we are going to celebrate the day it was stopped in Galveston Texas as if that was the day it was stopped everywhere?
In reality there is more slavery in the world today then ever before and more man trafficking in the U.S. then ever before.
We are all economic slaves in the west. The plantation is just open air. It never went away. The elites just got better at manipulating and lying. This country and the west was built on the backs of White slave labor, pioneers, conquerors, not immigrants, not black slaves. The “right side of history” is indeed a farce.
