Episode 87 On Juneteenth Celebrate Abolition, not Lincoln

Summary:Juneteenth celebrates the proclamation read in Galveston, TX on June 19, 1865, enforcing the Emancipation Proclamation in that state. While the abolition of slavery is true cause for celebration, Lincoln gets too much credit for what was by his own admission merely a “war measure,” and not enough blame for an unnecessary war.Additional ReadingBoth Lincoln and the Confederacy Were AwfulLincoln’s First Inaugural AddressLincoln’s Letter to Horace Greeley August 22, 1862Colonization After Emancipation: Lincoln and the Movement for Black ResettlementThe Real Lincoln: A NewLook at Abraham Lincoln, His Agenda, and an Unnecessary WarFree Gift from Tom:Download a free copy of Tom's new e-book, It’s the Fed, Stupid, at itsthefedstupid.com.
