Sure the slaves were emancipated On the 19th day of June Way back when. However at the same time honest Abe was signing that proclamation, his soldiers were out rounding up the American Indians,, murdering them, men, women and children alike.

@Jased72 Lincoln's soldiers were preoccupied with the Civil War when the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1863. Juneteenth was a couple of months after the Civil War ended in June 1865. Most of the atrocities you mention occurred between the end of the Civil War and 1890.
