More Southern States That Have ‘Confederate History Month’
It should be pointed out that Confederate History Month is certainly not unique to Virginia and Gov. Bob McDonnell; other states that have similar proclamations include:
Alabama
Mississippi
Texas
Louisiana
Florida
Georgia
Georgia Republican Governor Sonny Perdue’s proclamation for 2009 is here (PDF), and like Bob McDonnell’s original proclamation it makes no mention of slavery, although it does contain copious praise for the Confederate Army.
Ugh.
