If we do not hold precious our dead, we can grown careless of our living.
Rafael Jesus Gonzalez
Solving: of our, X>E, we, careless, do not hold. Big problem was 'dead'
to not be 'that' or 'area'
This was solved some hours ago, but I wasn't able to transport it then.
Follows some Day of the Dead; Dia de Muertos & Juneteenth stories
The modern day celebration of Day of the Dead is rooted in ancient
pre-Colombian cultures of the Aztecs, Mayans and Toltecs where
celebrations extended well past the current two days. When the
Spaniards arrived and Roman Catholicism spread, the ancient
celebrations merged with the Christian “All Saint’s Day” which is
celebrated on November 1st and All Souls’ Day celebrated on November
2nd.

familiar w/ the Day of the Dead. I'm currently reading a novel "Under
the Volcano' which got my interest from its movie which setting was a 24
h period of that day in a .mx setting.
My .tx 'culture' also 'started' the celebration of Juneteenth which is now
more national and .tx & .ca cultures also make a pretty big deal of Cinco de
Mayo which was actually not much in .mx history in terms of the Battle
of Pueblo, but has turned into a real celebration. Curious how all that
works. The juneteenth deal is particularly interesting. Back in the
day, the Emancipation Proclamation allegedly ending slavery didn't count
for much in .tx, and the story of what got the .us beyond something that
was *just* some alleged presidential edict into something that was more
nationally significant was 'documented' in a movie I saw recently named
'Lincoln'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_(film)
In January 1865, President Abraham Lincoln expects the Civil War to
end soon, with the defeat of the Confederate States. He is concerned
that his 1863 Emancipation Proclamation may be discarded by the
courts after the war and that the proposed Thirteenth Amendment will
be defeated by the returning slave states. He feels it imperative to
pass the amendment beforehand, to foreclose any possibility that
freed slaves might be re-enslaved.
In the Civil War period, slavery came to an end in various areas of
the United States at different times.
On the morning of June 19, 1865, Union Major General Gordon Granger
arrived on the island of Galveston[38] to take command of the more
than 2,000 federal troops recently landed in the department of Texas
to enforce the emancipation of its enslaved population and oversee
Reconstruction, nullifying all laws passed within Texas during the
war by Confederate lawmakers.
