Lincoln knew America’s founding was July 4 1776. He knew that was the day our amazing nation made a step from “ideal” to reality “Juneteenth” is an affront to the unity of July 4th. We now have 2 summer holidays—and one of them based on race Shame on the GOP for supporting this

Review:

This statement is put forth as factual but misses the importance of Juneteenth as being the day that slaves were freed. Saying this day was about ?race? is intentionally misleading.

Review:

Juneteenth is a recognition as a the day slavery legally ended in the United States and bears no competition with the July 4 holiday. Texas was the first state to officially recognize Juneteenth as a holiday.

Review:

Juneteenth is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of African-Americans who had been enslaved in the United States. It has been recognized by the State of Texas as an official state holiday since 1980.

Review:

Lincoln only wrote the EO called the Emancipation Proclamation and it did not free the slave in the South It was just propaganda in the Civil War The date to celebrate is Dec 6th (1865), the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution that ended Slavery

Review:

Charlie Kirk has eyes that are so close together it narrows his actual thinking into a perceived victimhood of his ?whiteness?. He?s unaware that not all whites are hated as much as he is. I know cause I?m white, and a male, and not hated. Poor Charlie Kirk.

Review:

This is just Charlie?s personal opinion. A cursory search for ?Juneteenth? shows it?s a commemoration of the day the last slaves were told they were free.

Review:

The first Juneteenth was celebrated in 1866, over a year after a proponent of slavery shot Abraham Lincoln to death Lincoln?s Gettysburg Address positioned the Civil War and abolition of slavery as a continuation of the struggle for independence declared on July 4, 1776.
