Word didn’t travel as fast in those days especially in rural areas. The last battle of the Civil War was fought in Texas too.

Yes, I realize that in the 1860s, Texas was huge, remote, thinly settled and poorly developed (and part of the Confederacy). But even back then, I think “word got around” - especially among black folks - faster and wider than a lot of slaveholders would have liked.

Juneteenth is still a good cause for celebration, though….
