Juneteenth (also called Freedom Day or Emancipation Day) celebrates the emancipation of the last remaining slaves in the USA, celebrated on June 19. Although the Civil War ended on April 9, 1865, news of the victory of the Union and the enforcement of the freeing of all slaves did not reach the outlying areas of the USA for months. Some of the last of the slaves to be freed were in Galveston, Texas; they were freed on June 19, 1865, when General Gordon Granger and 2,000 Union troops arrived.
