Slaves in the South learned they were free following the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which declared that all slaves in Confederate states were to be set free. However, many remained unaware of their freedom until Union troops arrived in their areas, with some receiving the news as late as June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger announced freedom in Galveston, Texas. This date is now celebrated as Juneteenth, marking the end of slavery in the United States.
