Actually there are 3 days. Emancipation day Jan 1st 1863, June 19th 1865 and the ratification of the 13 amendment on December 6th 1865.
I had never actually heard of Juneteenth until about a week ago or so. I had always considered the Jan 1st 1863 as the correct date.
And the Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in the south. 1 Facts: The Emancipation Proclamation | American Battlefield Trust
