Every year, my family and I spend a day cleaning the statue of my ancestor who commanded Confederate troops in a rather important Texas battle. Others came TO Texas from Mississippi BECAUSE their family lost everything in the War.
Like it or not, it's part of our history. It cannot be ignored.
But that is rather a different question than presented by your post.
Lack of a designated State holiday is hardly the same as “ignoring” history. These is no Custer Day, yet we all know abut him. There is no Louisiana Purchase Day, yet most folks are familiar with it. I rather doubt that lack of an official State holiday is going to wipe the Civil,War from our collective consciousness.
There is a valid debate to be had as to whether a State should expend State resources to celebrate something that is affirmatively hurtful to a large percentage of its citizens.

Studying/acknowledging historical events does not necessarily require glorification of those events. It just doesn’t, regardless of how you feel on this issue

Progs desperately want to erase history.

Your side does this a lot, though, when traditional values are defended.

I am being pretty damned "Ace" in this thread. I've always argued for the nuance and context in this particular debate.

Since you admit to being a liberal, that should be embarrassment enough!

They vote how they are told by by liberals to the tune of about 95%.

This would make a lot more sense, and would be much more inclusive. Although I doubt it would paint the Confederacy as a sympathetic group, which would cause an outcry from people who think it's a heritage worth celebrating.

There is a big difference between remembering the history and legacy of the Civil War
and
Celebrating the traitorous side of the conflict just because it included the state you live in

Mississippi was part of the confederacy.
People living in Mississippi today can point to long-gone ancestors who answered Mississippi's call to war.
Why shouldn't there be a remembrance of their service to the state?

Best post of the day!

In the words of Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens himself:
quote:
Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. This truth has been slow in the process of its development, like all other truths in the various departments of science.

Almost everything the state does falls into this category. What a slippery slope.

Funny, all these people who love to celebrate the Confederacy, in spite of Trump's statements that he prefers to celebrate winners. Doesn't care for soldiers that get captured.
