The perfect way to prepare for Juneteenth is reading accounts of enslaved people freeing themselves after the Emancipation Proclamation once Union lines were established nearby.
An excerpt from the book The Fall of the House of Dixie: Things were no better on Minor's other estates, where most of the workforce was refusing to follow orders by February 1863. Minor confronted one of them, Isaac Simpson, and demanded that he do as he was told. In response, Simpson took out a knife and began sharpening it on a brick. Minor followed him and asked Simpson what he was doing. Simpson coolly replied that "he was sharpening his knife to cut his nails." (The ironic emphasis was Minor's.) A few months later another bondsman broke into Minor's house on that plantation, took money, and threatened two white men.
