The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.
Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.
That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).
Freedom is always worth fighting for.

Absolutely, though one *tiny* correction:
It wasn't "two years after the war ended" but "two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was announced (on Jan 1, 1863.) News reached Galveston in June of 1865 (two months after the war ended.) #Juneteenth
@joelle
On the subject of #Juneteenth...
The #RacistInChief proudly announced on his social media website today that they erected "two 88-foot tall flagpoles at the WH. One on the North lawn & one on the South."
NOT 100' flagpoles. Not 80', 85' or 90'. "88".
Ask a #racist the significance of the number "88".
