Every April 9th ought to be a national holiday in the United States.
This is the day Robert E. Lee surrendered the main armed force of the Confederacy to U.S. Grant's Union Army.
While the Civil War itself would continue on a few more weeks, for all intents the southern slaveowner insurrection attempting to keep slavery in the United States was over. The Thirteenth Amendment had just gotten passed in Congress and the antebellum world the Confederacy struggled to continue would be no more.
So to all of the Lost Causers/White Supremacists/"Slavery Wasn't All Bad" Far Right apologists:
SUCK IT, LOSERS.
YOU GOT YOUR ASSES KICKED.
THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG SHOULD HAVE THE WORD "LOSERS" SEWN ONTO BOTH SIDES OF THE FLAG SO WE CAN MAKE IT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.
WE PLEDGE ALLIEGANCE TO THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER, YOU SEDITIONIST FREAKS.
WE GOT THE RED WHITE AND BLUE ON THE MOON, DOUBLE SUCK IT YOU HATERS.
Seriously though, we need to make Appomattox Surrender Day a national holiday, during which we all point at anybody still gleeful about the Confederacy and laugh and laugh and laugh. It'll be like Guy Fawkes Day, but with more humiliating putdowns towards the segregationist assholes.
Thank you.

I agree. It should be a national holiday because too many folks already seem to have forgotten it and what it was about.
