President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, but slavery in some parts of the confederacy did not end until over 2 yrs later. On June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas w/ the announcement that all slaves were free. https://t.co/v8sNn69ezB — PolitiTweet.org
