Poll: Should Jefferson Davis' birthday still be a state holiday in Alabama?
Via Billy
Today is an official state holiday in Alabama to commemorate the birthday of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America.
AL.com is asking today: Should the state continue to recognize Davis’ birthday as a paid state holiday?
A chart provided by the National Conference of State Legislatures listed Mississippi as the only other state to designate Davis’ birthday as a holiday, and it is recognized on Memorial Day.
Texas once designated Davis’ birthday as a holiday, but in 1973 combined it with Robert E. Lee’s birthday as Confederate Heroes Day on Jan. 19. It is listed as a “partial staffing holiday.”
Davis was born June 3, 1808 in Kentucky. He was inaugurated as president of the Confederacy on Feb. 18, 1861 in Montgomery.
Before that he was a U.S. senator and secretary of war.
After the war, he was captured by Union troops in Georgia and indicted for treason. He was imprisoned for two years but was released without a trial.
He spent the remaining 12 years of his life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
