Today the #usvirginislands celebrates it Emancipation. Swipe left for more! In 1848 Under Danish Rule, slave on the island of #stcroix revolted & won the emancipation and freed themselves way before any emancipation was taking place in the United States. Actually Alexander Hamilton (a founding father of United States) got many of his experience & insight from the living on the island. July 3, 1848 is the day we #crucian celebrate our Emancipation day. I love my history and my culture and if it wasn’t because those rebel soldiers stood up for them I wouldn’t be here today. I am truly thankful. My island is a #paradise. #culture #crucians #rebels #viculture #stcroix #stthomas #stjohn #cruz #rockcity #lovecity #emancipation #paradise #usvirginislands #usvinice #usvin#virignislands #mypeople #ourfreedom #freedom #abolition #rebels
