Heather Cox Ricrdson describes the precise history of what occurred in Texas in June 1865. She explains the importance of the emancipation of enslaved people by an order from the federal govt.

See this happening in Louisiana since Dobbs; it is now mortally dangerous to become pregnant in the US in a number of states where the state law requires a woman be provably near death before beginning scientific procedures to rescue her.
