As we celebrate Juneteenth, it’s essential to remember pivotal moments in the fight for freedom, like the liberation of Wilmington from the Confederacy on February 22, 1865. This victory by Union forces, led by General John M. Schofield, was a critical step in dismantling the Confederate stronghold. Wilmington, the last major Atlantic port under Confederate control, was a lifeline for their supplies. The Union's capture of Fort Fisher and the subsequent fall of Wilmington severed this vital connection, accelerating the Confederacy’s downfall and edging the nation closer to emancipation and unity. Photo: View of a group of Union soldiers gathered in the remains of the earthworks at Fort Fisher after its capture from Confederate control. Taken January 1865.
