On April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army of Northern Virginia to General Ulysses S. Grant of the U.S. Army, but it was not until June 2 that General Edmund Kirby Smith surrendered the Trans-Mississippi Department, the last major army of the Confederacy, to the United States, in Galveston, Texas. Smith then fled to Mexico. Seventeen days later, Major General Gordon Granger of the U.S. Army arrived to take charge of the soldiers stationed there. On June 19, he issued General Order Number 3. It read: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.” https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/june-18-2023?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=20533&post_id=129362425&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email https://lithub.com/juneteenth-should-be-a-national-holiday-readings-in-black-history-and-joy/ https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/historical-legacy-juneteenth
