The state of Virginia as part of Lee-Jackson Day, which was separated from the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday there in 2001. The King holiday falls on the third Monday in January while the Lee-Jackson Day holiday is celebrated on the Friday preceding it.
The state of Texas celebrates, as part of Confederate Heroes Day on January 19, Lee's actual birthday.
The states of Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi on the third Monday in January, along with Martin Luther King, Jr.
The state of Georgia on the day after Thanksgiving.
The state of Florida, as a legal holiday and public holiday, on January 19.[101]

All these States wee on the LOSING side. Scoreboard of history!

Who surrendered? Dipsh**

So based on this tortured logic you don't think we should honor the Vietnam vets. After all they did quit. But I am sure you would have the nuts to tell one them to their face.

Losing side of history, Fought for a wrong headed mission, slavery! He was a great general , so was Rommel, not honoring Lee or Sherman for that matter. Great generals also choose their causes.Doing what "we were told" is fine but not to be honored.

Do you actually believe that Sherman was an abolitionist....and you are suggesting that civil war was solely about slavery?

By the way, American military leaders study Hitler and Rommel. Sorry to blow your ignorance.

JMC - you really need to do more research on the Civil War and Robert E Lee. You are way out there... IMO.

I have no love of Sherman, Yes the Civil War was about slavery, revise history all you want with the ridiculous States rights nonsense but it just doesn't fly. Study Rommel ? fine. Give him a f#$king holiday? no way.

Born and raised in the south You people are funny and need to really read up on your history.
And the south did win.

Lee wa a great General but fought for the wrong cause and does not deserve a holiday. I know about the Civil War, just am not honoring a General that defended the succession of the South so they could keep slavery. Simple.
