On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing all slaves! The Civil War ended in April of 1865, but on June 19, 1865 Union soldiers arrived in Texas and freed the last of the remaining slaves in the United States! This is Juneteenth! https://t.co/dV2LPVN1es
