April 9, 1865 - The End of the Civil War 👑

On April 9, 1865, the Civil War ended at Virginia's Appomattox Courthouse, when the Army of the confederacy surrendered to the Union Army 🔥

The enslaved ancestors in Texas did not find out about the end of the Civil War until June 19, 1865

The end of the Civil War helped the Emancipation Proclamation by stopping "states' rights" for slavery, and it legally ended slavery in the United States 🎉

Three Significant Amendments were added to the United States Constitution between December of 1865 - February of 1870 📃

13 - Abolished slavery except for in the form of servitude ⛓️

14 - Gave citizenship to all people born in the U.S., reversing the 1662 Virginia Colonial law of heredity slavery 🌎

15 - Legalized voting rights for Black men 🗳

We Rise Through Oppression 💪🏿

To The Ancestors 👑 Rest In Power 💜
