[QUOTE="floridays, post: 4533293, member: 68849"] Haven't been on this site for a few weeks, didn't plan on posting but could not pass on this. For all crackers and anti-negro on this site (you know yourselves) it should be a national holiday. One man's (my) opinion. It would memorialize what our founders envisioned, as stated in the Declaration, but were unable to deliver at the time to form our great nation. The slavery disconnect with our Declaration of Independence, " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". would be rectified at an uncertain, future date. Abraham Lincoln, presided over a war, precipitated by various contentions, slavery being one, and the outcome cemented the cornerstone of our Declaration to the British Crown. A Federal Holiday, Emancipation Day, is an honor to our Founders that believed their declaration : " We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Emancipation Day as a holiday is honoring the Emancipators, not the Emancipated. I'm a proud Southerner, could add more but it is not noteworthy, and don't want it to be viewed as the object of my support, as it's not. For you crackers, consider it getting Lincoln's birthday back, on his merit, not an act of birth. [/QUOTE]
