    Not if you need money from the bank that day.

    Yes, they did. It was "conservatives" who tried to perpetuate slavery. And it's "conservatives" who are upset about celebrating the end of slavery. Different centuries. Same shitty people.

    So it IS Emancipation Day?

    I was seeing different info in another thread.

    Like it was years later and this and that.

    So, will Lincoln's birthday be a Federal Holiday now?


    Or is he still lumped into "President's Day?"

    I am absolutely exposing the silliness of it all.

    You should learn to plan ahead. The holidays will always be on the 19th of June

    So, will they celebrate Lincoln's birthday again too?

    Or he doesn't get the recognition for making it happen because he's a white guy?

    So he gets lumped in with all the other presidents. Be they good or bad.

    What a load of HORSE SHIT. The Democrats were guilty of starting the Civil War and the KKK and Jim Crow.

    Yep. then they left and joined with the Republican Party....you still have a few Blue Democrats, Dixiecrats and DINO's around, though.
    During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

    The Democratic party of the 19th century is not the Democratic party that exists today. Read a fucking book, you brain dead, racist bitch.
