Imagine being a prominent slaveholder in Texas during the Civil War (1863) and you hear about a resolution from a President you don’t like who declares all enslaved people are now free (…I can’t imagine owning real people either but walk with me on this…)

Contrary to what we were taught in school it was NOT 2 1/2 years before slave owners in the South heard of the Emancipation Proclamation- they knew about it but they weren’t about to let a little piece of paper destroy the largest revenue producing institution in the South, and that was legally enslaved labor…

Our history books also tell us that it took General Gordon Granger sailing into to Port of Galveston on June 19th 1865 and announcing General Order #3 in order for the enslaved in the South to actually be set free - that’s true, but not the whole story…

After General Grainger “announced” the order he never entered a single plantation but instead got on a horse and rode up to Houston for business.

Here’s what the history books fail to mention…General Grainger came to “announce” General Order #3 but it was the United States Colored Troops (USCT) who actually “ENFORCED ” General Order #3!

Black people freeing Black people! - we freed ourselves!👊🏾

There were at least 45 plantations here in Brazoria County and the USCT marched to every single one, armed with guns and bayonets and by show of force backed by the government ENFORCED General Order #3.

This coming Saturday, 2:00pm at the Levi Jordan Plantation State Historic Site we will fully reenact “how it went down” after the announcement of the Order.

As far as I know this is the first of its kind actual reenactment with USCT on horseback delivering General Order #3 on an actual plantation to the slave owner ever to happen in the State of Texas.

Join us, and witness history…
