In Alabama, the fourth Monday in April is designated "Confederate Memorial Day," and workers in the state were given Monday off to observe the state's hand in the Civil War.

Confederate Memorial Day has been on the Alabama books since 1901; its roots date back to post-Civil War efforts to get proper graves made for slain Confederate soldiers.

Most slain Confederates are buried in a swamp between Scotsboro and Chattanooga. It's supposed to be haunted by Confederate ghosts. It IS a spooky place. If you believe in ghosts, I'd suggest taking a different route than US 72 from Huntsville to Chattanooga. :laugh:
