In Texas, we have celebrated Confederate Heroes Day on Gen. Lee's birthday, January 19th. I suppose that includes memorials and so forth. There is currently a bill in the House that proposes to change the name to "Civil War Remembrance Day". It is a sham invented by revisionists led by a 13 year old boy. Approx. 90,000 Texans served in the CSA or Texas State Troops while only 2,000 traitors enlisted in 4 regiments of Union cavalry. They were never able to recruit enough men, so the force was scaled down to 2 regiments and then only 1 regiment. Only the 1st regiment lasted more than 2 years and some collapsed after 1 month. Oh yeah, and they mustered in New Orleans in 1862 after the city fell to Union occupation. Here is an excerpt from a "news" story:

"While the bill was introduced by Rep. Donna Howard, D-Austin, and has gathered bipartisan support, the impetus behind HB 1242 came from an unlikely messenger: Jacob Hale, a 13-year-old student from Austin who gave draft legislation to Howard last fall calling for Confederate Heroes Day to be replaced by Civil War Remembrance Day. The change, Hale said, would create a “more accurate symbol of our state's diverse history.”

p.s. Austin is the capitol of California. If you don't believe it, then you have never been there.
