Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, which took place after President Abraham Lincoln announced that the Emancipation Proclamation would go into effect on January 1, 1863. Despite President Lincoln’s ruling, slavery was not completely emancipated from America. The Union border states – Delaware and Kentucky - continued to practice slavery legally for some time despite this. Those slaves were freed with ratifying of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished chattel slavery nationwide on December 6, 1865. However, the choice was to celebrate Juneteenth on June 19 to mark the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.
