Gordon Granger, landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that all slaves were free.

A Second Civil War? The United States of America is a nation built on the idea of freedom, justice, and equality. However, this idea is being challenged by a growing divide between different political, social, and economic groups. This divide has led to an increasing number of people asking if America is headed toward a second civil war. #are #civil #headed #interest #second #SecondCivilWar #toward #war

#ConfederateHeroesDay is a state holiday observed in Texas on the third Monday of January. It officially commemorates the lives of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee, as well as other Confederate soldiers who died during the American Civil War. The Lost Cause narrative, which romanticized the Confederacy and portrayed the Civil War as a fight for states' rights rather than slavery, gained traction during this period. This narrative influenced how Confederate figures like Lee were remembered. However, the holiday remains a source of controversy due to its historical and symbolic significance. The holiday initially began in 1931 as separate observances for the birthdays of Jefferson Davis (June 3rd) and Robert E. Lee (January 19th). Confederate Heroes' Day is a complex and controversial holiday with a deep-rooted history. As the United States continues to grapple with its legacy of slavery and racial injustice, the debate over Confederate commemorations is likely to continue.
