Generations pass down Juneteenth traditions such as food and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time has gone on it is clear that not everyone supported slavery being abolished. The majority of the opposition came from southern states, and were proven to be racist against blacks, leading them to believe they deserved their freedom less than others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juneteenth celebrates the end of Slavery in the United States.
