Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. It is celebrated on the anniversary of the order, issued by Major General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas.
Independence Day
The Second Continental Congress was a late-18th-century meeting of delegates from the Thirteen Colonies that united in support of the American Revolutionary War. They created a new country and adopted the Lee Resolution which declared independence from Britain on July 2, 1776. They agreed to the Declaration of Independence two days later.
