What do you think Frederick Douglass would say about Juneteenth and it's celebration ?

The words of Frederick Douglass, a former slave, brilliantly written in "What to the American Slave is Your 4th of July?"

Explanation:

continues as the best historic reminder of why the "4th of July" should never be celebrated without being reminded of the significance of the "19th of June" in America.

in the 1900s, the united states was still a largely agrarian society with a very fast growing industrial and manufactering sector.

the south of the country was the bread basket of the country with large farm lands making up a majority of the economy.

in the north and more specficially north-west, growing manufactering and export sector had made the united states into a powerful exporting country.

this peaked in the 50s and 60s when the united states became the largest economy in the world and the largest exporter.

today, the majority of the united states economy is made up of the services sector that includes banking, insurance, music, movies, hotels etc.
