Black holidays are never about celebrating things blacks have accomplished. It's always about them whining about slavery and oppression. Historically, they're far from the most oppressed group of people in the world.

The North tried to get the freed blacks to help fight with them to free their black brothers to the south. Very few niggers had any interest in risking their lives for others and the recruitment drive was a massive failure.

Communication took time and those who were literate had a vested interest in not telling them.

Well if the south had won, they were still enslaved.

Then, following the war somehow the news that the north had won didn’t make it to the slaves in Texas for about six months until a ship landed at Galveston to lay down the law. That happened on the nineteenth of June.

I admit it is hard to understand how people were kept in the dark that long, but presumably normal communications and news reports were not getting in for some time after the war ended.

During the war train tracks telegraphs and other means of communication were destroyed.

A lot of news used to come by ship. Not six months, but the Battle of New Orleans occurred 18 days after the treaty ending the war was signed.

The best part of the story is the British commander Edward Pakenham, who was killed in the battle and was supposedly packed in a rum barrel for the voyage back to England for burial. Sailors weren't picky and drank half the barrel before the ship arrived in England. So only his bottom half was preserved.

That's if you count from the time of Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation to the end of the Civil War. Everybody seems to forget that the Emancipation Proc. only freed the slaves in the "states under rebellion". Slavery in all the US didn't end until the 13th Amendment was passed in August 1866.
