🇺🇸⚔️ Remembering the American Civil War: Honoring Sacrifice and Struggle ⚔️🇺🇸 The American Civil War, a defining chapter in the history of the United States, was a period of profound conflict and transformation. Lasting from 1861 to 1865, this bloody and divisive conflict pitted the Northern states, known as the Union, against the Southern states, known as the Confederacy, over issues of slavery, states' rights, and the future of the nation. Despite the immense human cost and the deep scars left by the war, it ultimately paved the way for profound social and political change. The abolition of slavery, the preservation of the Union, and the expansion of civil rights for all Americans are among its enduring legacies. As we reflect on the American Civil War, let us honor the courage and resilience of those who fought and died on both sides. Let us also reaffirm our commitment to building a more just, inclusive, and united nation, where the lessons of the past guide us toward a brighter future. #AmericanCivilWar #RememberingThePast #BuildingABetterFuture 🇺🇸⚔️ https://bit.ly/3T1ZuCk

Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.

Happy Juneteenth from LETS GO Boys and Girls! This culturally historic holiday marks the official emancipation of slaves following the American Civil War. Although the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 declared all American slaves as free, the doctrine was unable to be enforced in Confederate territories. On June 19th, 1865, Union soldiers marched into Galveston Bay, Texas, and decreed the freeing of the state’s slaves. The holiday became known as "Juneteenth" among the newly freed Texans, and over time has become a celebration of independence, solidarity, and empowerment for African-Americans. Today, take some time to learn about our country’s history, look back on how far we have come, and consider how we, as a collective, can continue to make a difference. #Juneteenth2024

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Jubilee Day, is a federal holiday that commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865. Although the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, it took more than two years for the news to reach Texas, which was still under Confederate control during the Civil War!
