Did you know that today is the day that President Lincoln signed the Amendment outlawing slavery on February 1, in the year of 1865?

It doesn’t seem that long ago, and reality it really isn’t that long ago. Now if only we could get back the land that is owed to us, oppose to reparations.

We want LAND and a percentage of the American dollar, and resources that were taken when this land was taken from the indigenous people.  It was not ratified by the states, however, until later on December 18, 1865.

So with that being said enjoy National Freedom Day.
