Happy Juneteenth

Jun 19, 2008 21:58

Today is the 143rd anniversary of Union troops entering Galveston Texas and announcing the emancipation of the slaves and the end of the Confederacy. In honor of this I present you Marching Through Georgia.

Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes you free!
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea
While we were marching through Georgia.
