I’m from the south. Your example is in April.

Even after Memorial Day was adopted in the south, Decoration Day (the day when Confederate Graves were cleaned and decorated) was also celebrated as a separate holiday.

I don't care where you are from...your mischaracterization of the war is insulting and your assumption of the origin of Memorial Day just plain wrong.

Class Dismissed, Newbie!

Good Day!
