The answer would be different in most cases, since the Union military governors declared that the slaves were free as soon as they took control of the territory. However, many people celebrate the day that the military governor of Galveston, TX announced that the slaves had been freed on June 19th, sometimes abbreviated as "Juneteenth".

On July 4, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 American colonists who were requesting their indepedence from England. In doing so they became enemies of England and King George III - many lost their homes, were chased by the English army, their families were relocated and were never found. These men took a chance with their lives speaking out. That is what our Independence Day is all about.

No. Independence Day has nothing to do with the abolishment of slavery. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery because blacks helped the Union win the Civil War.
