11 States observe Confederate Memorial Day. Guess which ones?

[rdean]

Eleven states officially observe Confederate Memorial Day: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

And some states, like Georgia, celebrate it twice.

These are GOP states. Mostly run by the Republican Party and Conservatives. Sure, a Democrat occasionally gets in to some office, but these states are blood red. No doubt it.

USMB Republicans say that conservative Republicans freed the slaves. If "Confederate Day" is the celebration of freeing the slaves, how come Lincoln wasn't a "Confederate" and why to blacks find "Confederate day" offensive? Is GOP "history" a little "off"?

They used to be democratic strongholds.

How do these states celebrate it. I live in one...never noticed it. And BTW...not all blacks find Confederate Day to be offensive. It is about Southern Heritage, not hate. Liberals just pervert it to mean something else.

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

It must be quite vexing to know that not a single human being would go to the trouble to shit on your grave, much less memorialize your legacy, eh dean? BTW coward, why don't you grow some balls and post under your actual identity? Would the scary Confederates hide in your closet and go "Boo!" in the night, and make you wet your panties?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Who cares?

The flag that flew for almost 200 years from the stern of slave ships was the Union Jack, the Stars and Stripes and what ever rag the French were flying but it wasn't the confederate flag. The point is that slavery was a factor in the New World for 200 years before the Confederacy was established. Confederates were Americans just like the the immigrant Irish who were drafted to replace rich Yankees who were too busy making money from slave labor to serve in the Union Army. Most of the Southern kids who were killed in the war never owned slaves. They died for a political adventure that was hatched in Washington. Give their lost souls a break and focus on some other radical left wing issue.

For many years veterans from both sides of the Civil War would gather together at battle sites in remembrance of their dead comrades...each under it's own colors...those images must really gall some...

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

BTW The acknowledgement of Confederate history of any kind (even if you're a Civil War scholar) is a "hate" activity according to the institution that is the most vociferous hater of same...oh, and the most vociferous proponent of homosexual child rape: The Southern Poverty Law Center.

I'll celebrate it. It's part of my state heritage. Whether it was right or wrong in your eyes, it taught future generations a lesson that to this day has not been forgotten. It was a war that divided a nation, then united it.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

-Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.

Each of those states memorialised their Confederate soldiery long before the political pendulum shifted to the GOP.

According to who? Kentucky was not a confederate state, and would have no historical reason to observe it. I am from Kentucky, and I never once heard of anyone observing it,

I have lived in 4 of the 11 states. I did hear of it when I lived in Richmond...no other place.

Go Cards!

Virginia is a blue state now. Don't mix us in with that sorry lot. Most people here do not want a memorial day for traitors. We were outraged when republicans forced a confederate memorial MONTH on us a few years ago.

Do you have a link for that or did you just tell a lie?

It depends. Do you want me to make you look stupid or not?

Ahh beg to differ..Confederate memorial day has not been observed here in NC in oh, over 20 years.....
Perhaps you should try a trip to the Gulf Coast of Florida. There you can hire a guide and learn the art of trolling for Spanish Mackerel.
Good eating too!
