Juneteenth Sale

 

Juneteenth celebrates when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, found out the Civil War had ended. Gordon Granger, a Union general, told them on June 19, 1865, that the war between the states was over and that they were free. On Jan. 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect meaning that all enslaved people in the Confederate States were technically legally free, but because the Confederacy was not governed by the Union, they would not be free until the end of the Civil War. It took from the signing of the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 until June 19, that same year to get word to the westernmost section of the country -- Texas. But slavery itself was not fully abolished until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in December 1865,The Wall Street Journal reported.
