Question

How long did it take the enslaved people of Texas to actually gain the freedom they were promised in the emancipation proclamation?

Answer 1

It has its roots in the long-awaited moment of emancipation in Texas, where more than 250,000 enslaved black people received news on June 19, 1865 — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation — that they were free.
