In the spirit of Juneteenth, let's honor the 3 men most responsible for making it happen

What’s Juneteenth?

What’s Juneteenth?

A three-day weekend for me.

I wonder what they’d think of the current state of the country if they could somehow be brought back for a day.

Let's here it for them:

Where now?

Lincoln and Davis both native Kentuckians.

If that doesn't sum us up I don't know what does.

And none of them ended it. That was done by the 13th amendment, ratified on December 6, 1865, the real date there should be a celebration.

2 of those 3 were horrible racist

Unfortunate truth.

I visited Gettysburg recently. The older I get the harder the civil war is for me to understand.

I get being against slavery and wanting it to end. I get wanting to preserve your economic system from being destroyed. What I don’t get is that in order to resolve this conflict hundreds of thousands of young men were quick to grab a gun and slowly march shoulder to shoulder into an oncoming stream of bullets, cannon fire, bayonets, and swords where there was about a 20% chance of painful death. If you didn’t die there’s a good chance you would need an amputation of some sort.

The only way I can rationalize it is that men were just different creatures back then. They lived differently, thought differently, felt differently. I don’t understand their thinking because I’m just not them.

1. George Floyd
2. Trayvon
3. Obiden
