National Holiday for ending slavery?

Okay. I got no pro's or con's off the top of my head. I'm neither for it, nor against it. This one gets a *shrug... whatever*

It's clearly pandering, but it's also to be expected from the current admin.

I think this is a great new Federal holiday celebrating when the Republicans freed the Democrats’ slaves.

Slavery was still legal and practiced in two Union border states – Delaware and Kentucky – until December 6, 1865, when ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution abolished chattel slavery nationwide. Additionally, Indian Territories that had sided with the Confederacy, namely the Choctaw, were the last to release those enslaved, in 1866.

Great, except the emancipation proclamation excluded areas not in rebellion.
