DEDICATION
The Series are dedicated to Jesus Christ, ancestors of slaves and children of the world. The former slaves of Texas should be given much credit for celebrating the holiday of Juneteenth or Jubilee for emancipation for slaves. The ex-Texas slaves first celebrated on June 19, 1866 with programs. The Texas slaves were the last to know about freedom and their date was June 19. Therefore, they name the date-Juneteenth. For many years, Mrs. Opal Lee, a Texan and major supporter of the making Junteenth, a Federal Holiday was very instrumental in making the dream come true. Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas made the announcement of the passage of the Bill for the holiday and President Joe Biden signed the Bill into Law on June 17, 2021. The Juneteenth National Independence Day is a legal public holiday that is tobe celebrated on June 19 of each year. The name of the law is Public Law No. 117-17 Juneteenth National Independence Act. The holiday is for the celebrating of the Emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States before the 1600s and after the Declaration of Independence in 1776 in the United States. The Senate Bill is listed as S.475.
In Book Number 2, the dedication is to the ancestors of three of the colonial states -Georgia, Maryland and Virginia. Even though some ex-slaves in Georgia celebrate May 15, in Maryland, April 22 and Virginia, July 4 or other dates of emancipation, for this work, all former slaves will celebrate – Juneteenth.
The Book Series were developed to show the appreciation of the hard work our ancestors fought for hundred of years to be free in America in 1865. Also, recognition is given to Mrs. Opal Lee for her boldness in getting a national holiday in 2021. The Israelites spent 433 years in slavery, down in Egypt. The African-Americans slaves spent almost the same amount of time in persecution and slavery in the United States and around the world.
DISCLAIMER
The words of the slave narratives are those of the ex-slaves. The author obtained permissions from the Library of Congress to utilize the slave narratives. All information used in the work is in the public domain. The selection of scriptures and slave song titles are from the slave narratives and of the author’s remembrances from black churches and revivals held in times long gone by.
The slave spirituals were continued after slavery. These quotes were heard from the mouth of grandsons and granddaughters of slaves. They sang the songs in churches, homecomings, funerals and in the fields.
FOREWORD
In the year 2021, the U.S. Congress made “JUNETEENTH’, a national holiday for the Emancipation of African-Americans from almost 400 years of some types of servitude, slavery or misery in the United States. The struggles of Africans began before 1400s with explorers captured and sold Africans.
The Africans were captured or stolen from the shores of Africa and sold into slavery. The slavers transported the slaves in the bottom of ships from Africa to different ports. They stuffed the Africans in the ships from head to toe and toe to head, with no room for wiggle. The travel time could have been from six weeks up to six months to the shores of Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, just to name a few.
Points in Africa the slaves traveled from were Goree Island, Ghana, Senegal or St. Louis, Congo, Cape Verde or Sub-Saharan Desert. The purpose of slavery was to help develop America with out cost for labor. Most of the slaves were sold in the South and Southwest States. However, slaves were bought and bred to profit all walks of life in America. The purpose of the Book Series is to show how slaves from Texas and slaves from Georgia, Maryland and Virginia and other states endured from the 1600s to Juneteenth, 1865.
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the book is to show the interconnections of slaves living in three colonial states -Georgia, Maryland and Virginia with Texas slaves in gaining their freedom on June 19, 1865. Therefore, timelines, plantation lifestyles and dependence on God by the slaves will be outlined.
Each chapter of the three states contains the name of the county, slave narratives given by the ex-slaves
who lived or had moved to the county, a freedom phrase told by each slave, Bible scripture heard in black churches, groves and slave cabins and a title of a slave or Negro spiritual made popular by Geechees who sang them working in fields of South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia or Texas before the Civil War.
Most of the slaves could not read the Bible scripture were popular scriptures quoted by slaves they remembered by rote.
