It never happened at all. Juneteenth commemorates a day on which nothing whatsoever happened.

Seems appropriate as it serves to give loads of government workers another free paid holiday off doing nothing and most of the people in the government are black anyway.

Juneteenth celebrates the last of the slaves being liberated

Why do states that were not part of the original 13 celebrate the 4th of July?
It was not their independence

So does Dec 25

See the difference?

No it doesn't. It's the day that word reached Texas that the civil war ended on April 9. No slaves were freed. Nothing happened except the spread of a bit of gossip.

We choose June 19 to celebrate the end to slavery

Today, June 19, is widely celebrated as Juneteenth, which marks the day in 1865 when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, bringing word that the Civil War had ended and the enslaved population was free. This is a joyous occasion, one which acknowledges the horrors of slavery, but...

What day is the actual day Jesus was born?

Slavery ended on April, 9. We know that. There are meticulous records.

It’s a total Marxist concoction aimed at destroying American culture.
Who better to gin-up with this phony holiday than the stupidest demographic and the insulated retarded baboon white democrats.

Slavery continued after April 9.
Even if we chose April 9 to celebrate the end of slavery, Conservatives like the OP would still object to it.

Juneteenth is a good date.
