We do, but you asked 'why not' as if you just now thought up the idea... So let me offer some examples of 'why not', just being Devil's advocate since you appear to be needing help. Maybe, one 'why not' here, maybe slaves who were ignorant didn't know about the 4th of July but did hear of Juneteenth.
Or maybe they immediately thought to celebrate both days, extra reason for barbecue.
Or maybe Juneteenth marks a different sort of Freedom than the 4th of July, maybe it reflects the difference between a Free Nation and a Free Man.
Or it could be as simple as the ex-slaves want to celebrate it just to irritate you.
Think of it as the difference between 240KV and 240 volts, one is much more powerful than the other but both basically same/same.
