Republicans freed the slaves and now the final 3 states who do not recognize it will have to recognize it.

I'm for it. I thought that MLK's birthday holiday would cover the bases but sure, let's celebrate it. A lot of blood and treasure was shed to bring slavery to an end. And, if we play our cards right, it will be an excellent opportunity to put an end to propaganda (like the 1619 Project). America didn't invent slavery, it inherited it from the colonies that Europeans established. It would also be nice to use the holiday to tell children that the Constitution didn't establish slavery, indeed the 3/5ths clause provided an important toll to help end it.

When do the Irish slaves get a federal holiday? Asking for my Irish friend.

1/2 English, 1/4 Scottish, 1/4 Irish (and a wee bit of German thrown in many, many generations ago).
