Did Texas free slaves after the emancipation Proclamation?
Yes, Texas did free its enslaved people after the Emancipation Proclamation, which was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. However, the proclamation only applied to the states in rebellion, and it wasn't effectively enforced in Texas until Union troops arrived. The official announcement of emancipation in Texas came on June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger issued General Order No. 3, leading to the celebration of Juneteenth as a significant date in American history.
How did the emancipation proclamation impact Missouri?
Emancipation Day in Missouri is traditionally celebrated in Missouri in August in such communities as Boonville, Neosho, Clinton, Joplin and others. However, for whatever reason, the Missouri legislature enacted legislation in 2003 recognizing "Emancipation Day" as June 19. This appears to be a legislative attempt to conflate the traditional Missouri celebration of Emancipation Day to Texas' celebration of its Juneteenth celebration. The "Juneteenth Celebration" originated in Texas in honor of their June 19, 1865, belated awareness of the end of the Civil War. General Granger brought this knowledge to them. The Civil War ended April 9, 1865, when Gen. Lee surrendered to General Grant. Missouri Emancipation Day may be rooted in one of several occurrences: 1. Gen. Fremont's unilateral declaration of Emancipation of freedom to all slaves in Missouri in August 1861, issued when he was the Union military commander of the Department of the West. This was later rescinded by President Lincoln, a few weeks later, due to alleged political concerns; 2. The Emancipation Proclamation issued January 1, 1863; 3. The Missouri Emancipation Act freeing slaves January 1, 1865; or, 4. The end of the Civil War, April 9, 1865. I lean toward Fremont's declaration, as it actually freed some slaves in 1861, and the August date is too coincidental.

What does Juneteenth stand for?
Juneteenth stands for freedom. It is a celebration of the end of enslavement in America. Juneteenth is America's 2nd Independence Day celebration. Americans of African descent were caught in tyranny of enslavement on the country's first Independence Day Celebration, the "4th of July", 1776. George Washington was a slave owner. Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner. Many of the founding fathers of America were slave owners. I wasn't until 88 years after the country's first freedom day celebration, when Union General Gorden Granger landed in Galveston, Texas, on the "19th of June", 1865, to announce freedom for all slaves through the reading of General Order #3 and the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. It took over 2 and 1/2 years for the news of freedom to travel to the last geographical vestige of enslavement in the country, southwest Texas. Juneteenth is now recognized as a state holiday or state holiday observance in 36 states, the District of Columbia and the US Congress. Together we will see Juneteenth Independence Day become a National Day of Observance, like Flag Day and Patriot Day in America.

What is the significance of the date June 19?
June 19, sometimes known as "Juneteenth", refers to the announcement in Galveston, TX by Union General Gordon Granger, on June 19, 1865, that the Civil War was over and that all the slaves in Texas were free. Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862 applied only to areas that were in actual rebellion from the Union. Within the Confederacy, there weren't many ways for slaves to get the news. So the Confederacy's surrender, and the arrival of Union forces, were something of a surprise to the slaves in Galveston, TX.
