During the Civil War more than 360,000 died in service to the North, 110,000+ in battle and 250,000+ of other causes.

The Rebel South lost over 260,000 men, 95,000 in battle and 165,000 to other causes. Some recent estimates claim the totals were actually higher.

There is an entire country, Liberia, that was created just so that they could go back to Africa.

The communists have figured out how to use the joggers and alphabet people to vote them into office all while burning down our cities and harassing us at every hour of the day.

Well, Congress and Brandon made it a federal holiday. I think this is the third. But it is not a ‘weekend holiday’ like Memorial Day, Labor Day, MLK Day, Washington’s Birthday, Labor Day, or Columbus Day.

HISTORY: Not all slaves were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, nor via Juneteenth. Only the slaves of the REBEL states were freed then. Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was a wartime effort to split and weaken the South; he did NOT free any slaves in the Northern states. Slaves in the non-rebelling border states had to wait for the 13th Amendment, effective December 18, 1865.
