That girl lives in silly season. The end of slavery should be celebrated and the truth of the matter is that there were at least 2 independence days. Blacks didn't gain any freedom by beating the british.Jeez people, is it really so hard to celebrate the end of slavery? Forget the convoluted way we got there, or the accuracy of the dates. Just take a moment to celebrate that we no longer allow humans to be owned like livestock.
Memo that to the Democrat Party, the one that began a war to maintain slavery....and wait for the apology.
Yes, the democrats were largely responsible for it.
But all this gnashing of teeth about a holiday to commemorate the end of slavery doesn't seem like democrats.
And, regardless of the political party, ending slavery was an event worth having a holiday for.
It is so disappointing that you don't comprehend the reason for pretending that there are two independence days.
For almost 100 years a significant portion of our population was not independent. I am not saying there should be two independence days. How about we have a holiday to celebrate our independence AND a day to celebrate the end of the practice of legally owning people as if they were livestock?
