lazyberg88 :

Can't wait to see you this summer in Minnesota!

Soberano :

Fun fact: There are more slaves in the world today than in the peak of the slave trade. So in a way...

goosegoose853 :

the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in states that succeeded, so any state that was part of the union and allowed slavery still had enslaved people. about 7 states or territories btw

Pretty Brown Eyes :

Some Black Americans didn't know they were free until the 1950-1960s.

Isaiah :

To go further, slavery was still going up until the 1950s-60s. My great grandmother (still alive) was one as a child and she was born in the late 30s

Catbtwnaps :

This a great clip because I see in the comments people are getting educated about what happened. Grew up in Galveston myself. It’s important history. Sad history. Shameful.

LifeHackswithLyndah :

you have to remember though at this time in history, there’s no TV no radio no national newspapers so it took time for news to spread across the country. It’s not like today. Something happens we know minutes later.

ZombieNikon :

I saw that Mississippi actually only recently ended slavery in February 2026 because of a technicality

Renee Bissonnette D' :

Your articulation

Brent :

I had fun, and I learned something.

user27352827293738 :

This has made me reminisce of the very fine Patrick Swayze in North and South!

David Perry :

Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and Missouri were all slave holding union states that the emancipation proclamation did not cover. Slavery was legal there until the 13 amendment in December of 1865

Wrecktalprolapse :

My work made it a monitory day off, but the day off was taken from out yearly vacation allowance
