The Confederate Origins of Memorial Day

 

Many Americans will pause today to honor the men and women who have given their lives in the United States armed forces. What most probably don’t know is that this holiday originated in the South after the War for Southern Independence. It was originally called “Decoration Day.”

Don’t tell the social justice warriors.

The monuments that these modern day Leninists believe represent “white supremacy” were a byproduct of a movement that began one year after the conclusion of hostilities to remember the over two hundred thousand men who died defending the Southern fight for independence.

  1. Hi Brock. Have a wonderful PATCON and a humble Memorial Day,
    Decoration Day which is historically recognized on May 30th.
    Changed by the fed gov for a three day weekend and the
    distribution of money. They just keep on altering history.
    Just because THEY say it's so don't mean it's so.
    Hope the weather is good for the PATCON cause it ain't here.
