It's just that the word didn't get to Texas until later, and it took Texas officials til June 18, 1865 to get around to telling the slaves that they hadn't been slaves for the past 2.5 years. That's why Juneteenth is a thing. Again - something you'd know, if you pulled yourself out of an "alternative facts" haze and paid attention to actual information.
There's no point in going further with you on this (or any other) topic. You're more interested in spewing the brigaded rhetoric you find on the internet and championing "Whataboutism" to bother with. Enjoy your vitriol. I'll just block you so I don't have to read it anymore.

Hey, I ALWAYS stated slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. I only threw you that bone because the woke crowd claimed it wasn't over until the fat lady sung on 6/19/1865. they even were able to get a trumped-up holiday out of it.
And YOU"RE the one that is so far gone into wokeism that it isn't worth debating.
