Happy Juneteenth

It commemorates the final emancipation of the slaves. On June 18, 1865, Federal Troops occupied Texas, specifically Galveston, and on June 19, General Gordon Granger read General order 3, emancipating all the slaves in Texas.

And let us remember those brave Confederate soldiers with a hearty, "You lost, get over it."
