I still don't celebrate either way, but I think it is obnoxious that states outside of Texas celebrate it since it is a Texas thing. Now, if they want to do when Abraham Lincoln gave the Emancipation Proclamation speech, sure.

I have the same issue with it. It's a made up day for the majority of the US. If you really wanted to celebrate when the last slaves were freed in Delaware and Kentucky, you'd celebrate the ratification of the 13th in December. And I would 100% support that, because it is a pretty damn big milestone. I just want that milestone to apply to all slaves, not some of them.
