Amazing thing is, it's a real thing. From Wikipedia and supported sources: [quote]Confederate History Month is a month designated by seven state governments in the Southern United States for the purpose of recognizing and honoring the history of the Confederate States of America. The designation of a month as Confederate History Month began in 1994.
Although Confederate Memorial Day is a holiday in most Southern states, the tradition of having a Confederate History Month is not uniform. State governments that have regularly declared Confederate History Month are as follows:
Alabama
Florida (since 2007)
Georgia (by proclamation since 1995,[2] by legislative authority since 2009)
Louisiana
Mississippi
Texas[2] (since 1999)
Virginia (1994–2002, 2010)[/quote]
