- Get to know the history of Juneteenth, a commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War.
--
At the end of the Civil War, though slavery was technically illegal in all states, it still persisted in the last bastions of the Confederacy. This was the case when Union General Gordon Granger marched his troops into Galveston, Texas on June 19th and announced that all enslaved people there were officially free. Karlos K. Hill and Soraya Field Fiorio dig into the history of Juneteenth.

Its crazy that America really said "no to slavery, EXCEPT"
It's even crazier that America _is still saying that._
A few centuries before they said freedom and equality for all, EXCEPT
Except for murderers and rapists? I'm fine with that
Lot of crazy things in history

Thank you TED-Ed for bringing this up, even more when cases like Tyler Nichols just happened recently.
Thank you for a nice video. I use ted-ed videos to study English, especially for improving listening ability. I think that the volume of background music is a little louder for me, not a native speaker of English. It's a little difficult to focus on English spoken, so I'd like you to turn it down a little if possible.
You know, this background music will also help you to improve your listening skills. As a result, you’ll be able to listen to English speech with different background noise etc
Good luck!😊

@@КсенияГорбачева-х8ш Thank you! As you say, I'd like to be able to listen even with some noise. No chance where I can focus only on words, unless it's something like English tests.
@@someone-oj4dk I tried not to see subtitles because I want to practice listening, but I'll give it a try. Thank you for a good advice.
Please , my melanated ppl. Stop celebrating what your enemies give you, it's not good. All of America is your land from the start, so why take scraps from them?Please my melanated ppl. Stop celebrating what your enemies give you, it's not good. All of America is your land from the start, so why take scraps from them?
Happy Juneteenth❤️💚🖤💛 As we celebrate, liberate, and educate, I find this short animated video to be a solid addition that tells our story with dignity and detail. Thank you to all who put this together.
HAPPY JUNETEENTH❤
Are there no background music versions? I would love to watch this
Apparently showing this video in a classroom is “CRT”…
3:51 It is interesting that you say that slavery was still legal in “border states,” rather than “Union states” or “Northern states.”
They were states at the border. Hence border states.
@@michaelweiske702 Sure, but they were border states on the Northern/Union side. Slavery was illegal in the Southern states, but not illegal in the Northern states. Border states on the Southern side couldn't have slaves because it was illegal.
The Emancipation Proclamation didn't affect northern slaves at all. They've largely been "forgot" from history. Certain governors also are particularly keen on not having real history of slavery in schools
@@reptocilicus - Slavery wasn't practiced in most of the Northern/Union states at the time. It would make a lot less sense to suggest that slavery was practiced throughout the Northern/Union states, like it was in every single Confederate state, than your complaint about distinguishing the Border states from the rest of the Union.
@@loki2240 I disagree. I think it is important to point out--without obscuring the fact--that slavery was not illegal at a federal level in Northern states, and was practiced in some Northern states, for years after it was made illegal in all Southern states.
What is junetteenth and how can i care less about it?
It's still utilized as a punishment for a crime, outlined in the 13th amendment. The video does mention this, but it is not hard to find widespread slavery conditions in US prisons with the "justification" that it is a "deserved punishment" even when that is not the case.
How can you call it slavery when there years of shelter and feed is totally free to them?
It's disappointing that they didn't mention this.
@@bingbung Do you know what slavery means?
@bingbung you fail to acknowledge that they are forced to work for pennies to the dollar, making prisons rich and creating the prison for profit system that we have today. Remember the movie Shashank Redemption? That warden was getting himself rich at the expense of the prisoner's free labor.
@@bingbung well how about your job set you up with a cot in the worst living conditions and absolutely horrible slop for food with no pay and chain you up after working for no pay and see how you like it. Trolls have no respect
This is a very fantastic animation. Thanks Ted ed. And the narrator's voice is to die for.
I agree
June teenth is a day all the blacks come out and act crazy and shoot eachother and skip work
THIS IS A BOT COMMENT...MINE WAS DELETED
@@kellyrosegreene1698lmao
@@kellyrosegreene1698happens a lot on UA-cam actually
That animation of the gavel breaking the chain is strangely satisfying. I still consider it odd that the United States segregates its history so that part of it is only taught for one month a year, instead of when it applies to history assuming you learn history domestically from past to present concurrently with world history like most other countries.
Japan doesn’t teach that they incurred our wrath by bombing Pearl Harbor. At all. One month a year suffices.
Many sides of history are taught in school here in the southern US. Victim hood is just celebrated in February
if you got every month besides one month, you'd still complain about "history being segregated." Newsflash, no other piece of history--no war, no assassination, no historical landmark--gets a whole month devoted to it where everyone is expected to religiously observe it. Only MUH SLAVERY, nothing else.
Well the u.s is a settler state in native ancestral land. Cant expect them to be honest and truthful.
@@Ben-outdoors sides???
Usually the animation on this channel is great, but this one... Is a whole new level
IKR, it's on a whole seperate level
Those people that still keep Confederate flags outside their homes and think there's nothing wrong with it need to watch this.
Edit: Don’t look at the replies unless you want to ruin your day.
You can thank the Confederates for that. In a rare instance where history is written by the losers, the "Lost Cause" narrative shifts the premise from "preserving slavery" to "fighting for freedom against an unjust Federal government". Just as Joseph the Gerbil said "tell a lie so many times people will eventually believe it's true"...
Confederate battle flag*
Those people displaying the confederate flag know exactly what it means and that's the very reason they do it. They don't need to see this, they already know and celebrate their racism.
People in general should forget negative ancient history and get on with life.
But there is nothing wrong with it. Symbols change meaning. It now represents southern pride.
I am not an emotional person but the score the animation the vacation of a terrible yet inspiring story, damn near brought me to tears. Great job TedEd
Slaves come from the word Slavs. How come this animation doesnt point out blacks owned slaves too? Or africans in Africa were the ones who sold slaves? Or Jews were the BIGGEST plantation owners?
yea me too all those brave southern men fighting for there families because they knew what losing meant and how screwed up our country is now because of it. violent criminals and thieves who won't work and have no respect for anyone God bless the Confederate ststes of America
Good God you baby, grow up, this is all just a load of BS.
Animation is topnotch as always! The background music on this one seriously gave me goosebumps. Suspenseful like the slaves' march towards their freedom. Thanks for another amazing lesson, TedEd
Slavery only ended 157 years ago. We live in a truly sick world.
There is still slavery. It never ended
The US isn't even 300 years old.
Bad things happened 157+ years ago in a 247 year old country? whoa no way bro that's crazy, like, whoaaa. I guess that means people need to give me free stuff
@@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262 not free, it a capitalist society and there are people who work their entire lives for this country that where never paid a dime.
Yall are uneducated asf people to really think slavery only existed in American. Is been all over the world even in Africa , where warlords sold slaves to white people.
Our country is very young just over 200 years and even though it is very young 600,000 people chose to die to free people in bondage. Everything written about our country is to divide us and make us hate America. Think about this the NWO needs you to hate America so that they can destroy it ! That's why the don't tell you about the 600,000 people who gave their lives for this cause ! The NWO must keep the hate alive with these Marxist social Justice groups to conquer and divide. Did you know while BLM was collecting millions and buying nice mansions for them selfs they did give George Floyd's family one penny to cover any funeral cost or to help in any way. Candice Owens took money out of her own pocket to help the George Floyd family.
Much empathy for people suffering from slavery, then and now(at least 50 million currently).
The prison labour systems may be a point to say it never truly ended.
Especially because nonviolent drug offenders are typically used to fill private, for-profit prisons, where they are forced to work for pennies on the dollar (and are also being charged for personal hygiene products, phone calls, and sometimes even housing). And that system continues to be a significant obstacle to the decriminalization of marijuana possession.
Chattel slavery definitely ended, the prison system is not even remotely comparable.
@user-yz4eo2iz9l oh? Forced to work woth no choice otherwise. Live where you are told. No material goods. No profits. No ownership of anything, even the clothed on your back and the bed you sleep on.
Have to listen to wardens and guards - told when to eat, no choice on what you eat, told when to shower, when to sleep etc. If you don't listen you are punished with psychologically painful methods.
Work full days - sometimes even in l9fe risking scenarios like the prisoners forced to work during the fire seasons.
Do inform me please the significant difference? Most of the pris9ner sin the labour system are non violent offenders.

[6]For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people vnto himselfe, aboue all people that are vpon the face of the earth.

Slavery hasn't ended anyway in the world, its just evolved to not be so publicly seen.
True.
Where?
@@mr.raisin2492 do research, modern slavery is everywhere, could even be your next door neighbour and you wouldn't have a clue. It happens more often then you realise
what kind of slavery is that? like examples
@@beinguniverse Taxation, government?????????
At the Paris Peace Conference after World War I, Japan made a ``proposal to eliminate racial discrimination'' at a committee to create a new League of Nations.
As a result, the countries that voted in favor were Japan, France, Italy, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Czechoslovakia, Portugal, and the Republic of China. Opposition came from the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Poland, and Romania. The votes in favor outnumbered the votes against.
However, President Wilson of the United States, who was the chairman, stated the following.
"This amendment was rejected because it was not unanimous."
I suppose Japan gave that idea up shortly after huh?
@@TmanRock9 As we all know, the winner of a war can easily change or silence a country's ideology.
Animation team crushing it with another grand slam.
Yep 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Powerful animation and soundtrack. Amazing work! Thank you.
This video is so beautiful! I could watch a whole movie in this style. Side note: One of my cousins is currently doing research is find the names of our enslaved ancestors for her doctorate. I hope she finds them 🤞🏾
This would be amazing to have ❤
White peoples cultures. Cant believe they had laws that forced slavery. They were much crazier back then
Juneteenth is a holiday all Americans should celebrate, regardless of race or ethnicity! To commemorate the end of chattel slavery is to celebrate freedom itself. There is nothing more American!
This is POWERFUL! I’m so proud to be an African-American! I am also proud that Juneteenth is my birthday 🎉!
Happy Birthday!!!
My birthday is in June, but not on the nineteenth. A June birthday is pretty neat 👍🏿
Happy bday
@@Pk-io6xe Thank you!!!❤️🥹🎂
It's my birthday too. I love it!
This is an amazing informational video, I’m so sad it’s not being taught in all American schools.
And it is a fundamental part of our history.
@@ramirodelagarma6884
June 19 was a big day in Galveston, Texas but insignificant to the rest of the nation. Ask yourself what might have occurred if the 13th Amendment was never ratified and added to our Constitution.
Juneteenth is my favorite holiday. Celebrating the day that the republicans freed the slaves from the democrats
Love the animation. Thank you for pointing out that slavery is still legal under the 13th amendment via prison sentencing. The prison industrial complex needs to end. Illegal slavery still exists too sadly.
People forget that the even when slavery ended in the south, it still did slavery for a time during the reconstruction. What the south did was share cropping which was kinda like slavery.
Or just send them back to jail to do more labour at a cost
Basically, they found a way to institute slavery by using corrupt business tactics. American government mostly did not restrict businesses until the progressives in the early 1900s
And blacks didn’t have that much education or skills so even when it ended most were still slaves cuz it wasn’t no other choice
Yes! And also many people wanted to remain under their "owners" because they had no where else to go. No one else to turn to.... they felt helpless
...and people also forget there were still SLAVES in the north long after "juneteenth"
Knowing Better made a very interesting long-form video on the same topic
I saw that video too.
Extremely well made video. Fantastic presentation all around, thank you!
Obviously far from covering important related topics, such as issues during reconstruction and the practical modern slavery that prison labour is. But for the points it covers - very good.
High attrition trade is no good
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. This video is a start especially for those that were curious and never knew what Juneteenth meant. This video and some of the comments can pave the way to finding out more about this era...
I think it’s pretty problematic to act as though slavery is a thing of the past in America. The last line of the 13th amendment says “unless duly convicted of a crime.” There’s a reason mass incarceration began right after the end of the civil war.
Were you talking about the arrests of African-Americans in the south, or just general arrests made after a war?
And later, as a means to take away the ability to vote
Almost as if those same sick human kidnappers took the judges a police positions. And kept harrasing and abusing african americans or other people of color
What an amazing video, I have heard people say Juneteenth before but I never fully understood what it meant, so I really appreciate the explanation and history behind it. Thank y’all for making such great content!
Thanks, wasnt aware about this aspect of slavery in US history. Learned more about Juneteenth.
Thank god the days of slavery are over! Now we have the much more civilized slavery-with-extra-steps!
Cringeteenth
LOL
Damn, a lot of racists in the comments section.
"wow, people are reacting to my obnoxiousness. I thought my constant aggressive and obnoxious behavior and my constant claims of cultural ownership over literally everything would go ignored and unchallenged"
You're obnoxious alright.
You were expecting something else?
Didn't expect this.
Man lots of triggered people here
Right? It's kinda funny 🤣🤣🤣
Of course! They hate their ancestor’s truth.
Really instructive lesson, thank you, TedEd. A history of accommodation and appeasement in the name of plantation-owners' profits kept slavery alive long after it was proclaimed illegal. Hope the holiday means this story is told again and again.
*Humanity First*
*Love* for all hatred for none
Preach *Empathy*
They should have let Africa flourish in peace, find their ways in peace. The world would have been a better place.
Exactly
This is a wonderful video and beautifully animated. Thank you.
It’s just another day of the year
@@Anthony-zw1qb This video could be about how I make breakfast every morning and would still be beautifully animated. 😂 it's not the topic, it is the talent.
@@Anthony-zw1qb The 4th of July is just another day too....
@@religionisalie way to change the subject
Let's not forget Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks, two freedom fighters who fought against racial segregation in USA.
I like how the light shines through the window, illuminating only John Adams and John Quincy Adams, while the rest remain in darkness
Given the industrial prison system, it never did
Prison is punishment, not slavery.
NOT THE SAME THING
Vermont is the first place to abolish slavery thanks to the US Constitution
Great art style! Every still image could be turned into a fabulous mural or poster in someone’s classroom
Having lived near Houston I never knew Juneteenth was related to Galveston, TX just an hour or so away from where I went to school
slavery never ended, it moved to prisons
Good. Prisoners need punished.
I was always curious about this but never thought to look it up for some reason... I very much preferred learning this way, quite fascinating
I rarely watch a youtube video more than once, but I just rewatched this. Brilliant work, TED-Ed! The score, the animation, and the info. Absolutely stellar presentation! Don't let the dislikes discourage you. This is some of the best work I've seen!
I know it's not really the point of the video, but holy cow that background music is incredible! The animation too. It's honestly hard to pay attention to the content when the animation and music are so distractingly awesome.
What a beautiful and effective animation!
Thank You also for using a map that more accurately depicts the size of the US to Africa !!
Also talk about the entire history of slavery around the world that would be interesting
why do that when selective facts give fuel to a certain narrative, we can't let people's narratives change can we, occupy a certain street
Amen.
Also the recognition that colonization is another form of. Slavery.
Lets talk about modern slavery in Africa 😂😂
There are other videos about that and colonialism in Ted, but this video is about the US.
Taxation is slavery!
Technically slavery never ended. It just became illegal. There are more slaves in the world today than ever! 😢
It didn't even become completely illegal. Enslaving criminals is still explicitly legal in places like the US
Technically, its also not illegal either. Theres a clause saying prisoners can be enslaved, and it still applies for several states TO THIS DAY.
The overwhelming majority of those slaves are in Africa and the Middle East
Colbat mining
It's refering to the US
Delaware and Kentucky were the last to abolish slavery.
While slavery has never ended, great progress has been made.
In america, read the title
Yes, "Progress has been made"!! Onward movements towards a destination to advance and develop 💯% complete modern conditions are what we need NECESSARY.
I'm embarrassed as 75 percent Caucasian (European) to even have any affiliations with all this unsophisticated barbaric cruelty.; I'm 12 percent African American & 13 percent Cherokee Indian (Seminole Tribe). I feel more the 25 percent of my roots in my utmost being.
@@jokehu7115 Duh, I know.
Should have mentioned with party started and wanted slavery vs Lincoln’s Republican Party that wanted to free slaves.
And ended with how Nixon and lee Atwater started the southern strategy leading to the political switch starting in the 1960s.
Lots of bad takes in the comment section lol
Man im just hoping to find some that i can actually understand what in the name of god theyre trying to say
I'm suprised you didn't cover the slavery perpetrated by the Natives.
Because thats a completely different topic, its about as relevant to juneteenth as the slavery of the Roman Empire
I just want to let anyone who's reading this, and going through a tough time know that it's going to be okay. You'll get through it! ✨
Jesus loves you and is coming back soon!
Believe in His death and resurrection and repent of your sins and be saved!
Remember that He died and rose up again for you to be in heaven with Him!
Have an amazing day ❤️❤😊❤😊

"a righteous pursuit of 'true' freedom, for all"
I understand the history. I understand the celebration.
however: truth is now enslaved; it is a political prisoner.
therefore, a righteous pursuit of freedom 'of the truth' should be the clarion call for all people denied 'true' freedom. you want to become the political equivalence of the confederacy or you want 'true' freedom.
your video was good but you ended it with the weak pathetic knee bending to the counter culture gestapo. symbolism or substance. your truth or the truth.
government is your master.
the truth you refuse to acknowledge and the freedom you fear the most.

Thank you TedEd.
I dont understand, why is this holiday sound like it was named by a third grader?
That's because you and your Ancestors benefitted from slavery. Juneteenth is Revolutionary to those who fight for the liberation
Because it probably was. 😂
It’s a pointless holiday that doesn’t actually celebrate anything. If they actually wanted to celebrate the end of slavery they could have picked:
1) January 1st, 1863- the day the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
2) April 8th, 1864 - The day that the 13th Amendment passed in the Senate.
3) January 31st, 1865 - The day that the House passed the 13th Amendment.
4) April 9th, 1865 - The day that Lee surrendered.
5) December 6th, 1865 - The day that the 13th Amendment was ratified by the country and made slavery officially illegal except as a form of punishment.
Probably because it was given its name by slaves who weren’t allowed access to education, and also it was 160 years ago.
The Guy in 4:11 in the Middle look like the guy from the Animan Studio meme.
Bro walks the same.
Another fake holiday for them to feel sorry for themselves. "We's gunna have a cookout on Juneteef , Massa"
Biden made it a Federal Holiday Sis❤
Earlier than in Africa.
@@davidrele damn imagine a white person giving this response to the US having slaves
@@davidrele let me ask you a question and see if it helps answer yours. Why are we still talking about an event from over 150 years ago today? Many examples from vice, cnn, fox, literally any news station has done it so why do we still cover it?
Chill. Thing is slavery was in africa before wite man arrived. And is still there.
That is just part of their culture. So should we fight it , or let them enslave as much as they want until they deal with it themself ?
With no input from whites.
@@HIFLY01 As long as they don't push stuff like the white guilt narrative.
Another celebration of how Republicans freed the slaves.
Now we get to celebrate more freedom on July 4th!!! Yeah!
You forgot to mention the republicans of the 1860s were liberals, progressives, and marxists
Yea and democraps started the kkk
@@Pk-io6xeyea sure they were
@@MichaelOBrien71
Then what do you think they were? Go ahead.
@@Pk-io6xe You took the words out of my mouth. You are correct.
It never ended. Everyone at the top collectively decided giving everyone low wages for profit (aka you working) was more beneficial than having literal slaves.
Not very comparable to chattel slavery. Forced labor as punishment for a crime is probably closest. And abuse of undocumented workers is terrible, as well. They don't have much legal recourse because they risk getting deported, their family being separated, etc. Unpaid internships also exploit people. But chattel slavery was typically far worse than today's common exploitations.
No one is forcing to work for that employer, if you don't like the salary you can quit at any time you want, you clown
@@loki2240 I agree that one was/ is more intense than the other. On the other hand, I do think it's great that more of us are realizing how systematically entrenched enslavement of the masses (on various levels and scales) really is around the world. The wage system and classism is one of many cogs in the wheel of divide and conquer analogous to the "Wh!te" racism used to fuel, justify, and perpetuate the enslavement of others under American chattel slavery, domestic terrorism, and Separate But (Un) Equal.
@@loki2240 So, on short, the same greedy people of today are of the same mind (and probably the same stock) as those who benefited from chattel slavery in the US. They go hand in hand.
@@Sol-Amar - I'm no fan of the exploitation in capitalism. But you're immediately going to lose people if you take time to comment in a UA-cam comment to criticize low wages by comparing low wages to chattel slavery. Enslaved people in the U.S. typically didn't have free time that would've allowed them to watch and comment on UA-cam videos, didn't have money that would've allowed them to buy devices for such activities if such devices existed, or the legal right to even possess such devices if they existed, or even the legal right to be able to learn to read and write for much of the history of chattel slavery in the U.S. And most people probably aren't going to analyze the comparison - they'll just have a visceral rejection of it and then likely whatever else you say.
It's not always easy to advocate our positions in ways that are likely to connect with people (especially with Americans). But being conscious of what might turn people off or give them an excuse to dismiss our positions, out of hand, is important if we actually want positive change.
Great explanation video, thank you.
End?
Ted forgot:
They also dont teach that Kentucky and Delaware still had slaves until the ratification of the 13th amendment and announcement (Union States) “North”
January 31, 1865, and ratified by the required 27 of the then 36 states on December 6, 1865, and proclaimed on December 18.
So slavery actually was over on the Dec 18th, 1865.
And what about the European indentured slaves?
This gives me hope
Kentucky and Delaware held out against abolishing slavery until the 13th Amendment was ratified on December 6. (That's the date that should be Freedom Day!)
I have been watching Ted ed for the past few months. Trust me this is a great thing to watch. It makes topics more entertaining.
Those Democrats just did not want to give up their slaves.
As a liberal, they still don't unfortunately. They use systems of reliance and engrained victimhood casted as love as a tether now. No one in their right mind can feel or be mentally strong under such condition. It's brainwashing because it's not as obvious or as immediately painful as a whip, but telling people that their country continues to see them as less than is just as detrimental to the soul and psyche. Talk about gaslighting an entire race of people... the left are masters.
June 19th is my birthday.
Same 😅
Why celebrate nineteenth if where still slaves to the system, can anyone explain that to me?
Ah yes the us with 55 states
Totally fictional story.
