On June 19, 1865-- federal orders arrived in Texas to inform all previously enslaved people that the Civil War had ended and they were free- although the Emancipation Proclamation had been signed two years earlier. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. https://t.co/U6zcyApovv — PolitiTweet.org
