I always celebrate this day with some beef taco cones.
You can use a muffin pan to make them stand straight up! |

The holiday was originally just celebrated in Texas starting in 1866, so the date makes sense. June needed a holiday anyway. Kinda fun that this one can fall on any day of the week like Independence Day. Today is like a mini-weekend.

They wanted one date and went with the one that already held some cultural significance in parts of the South. |

Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. The Texas territory decided not to tell the slaves and keep them as slaves. The federal government forced Texas to finally tell the slaves on June 19th 1865 that they were free. The carrot was Texas would be accepted as a state as soon as they freed the slaves. 1866 Texas became a state. It was a trade off. It was a political deal. Nothing to do with human beings being the property of other human beings. Last edited by BigRedChief; 06-19-2024 at 08:53 AM.. |
