Al Edwards:

Slavery Officially Ends On This Date In 1865 And June 19th Becomes Known As Happy Juneteenth.

On This Day, Union Soldiers, Led By Major General Gordon Granger, Rode Into Galveston, Texas And Announced That All Slaves Were Free:

"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore exisisting between them becomes that between employer and laborer."
