Confederate History Month is a month annually designated by six state governments in the Southern United States for the purpose of recognizing and honoring the history of the Confederate States of America. April has traditionally been chosen, as Confederate Memorial Day falls during that month in many of these states. == Individual declarations == Although Confederate Memorial Day is a holiday in most Southern states, the tradition of having a Confederate History Month is not uniform. State governments or chief executives that have regularly declared Confederate History Month are as follows: * Alabama * Florida〔 (since 2007) * Georgia (by proclamation since 1995,〔 by legislative authority since 2009〔(sb27.html )〕) * Louisiana〔 * Mississippi〔 * Texas〔 (since 1999) * Virginia (1994–2002, 2010)〔http://www.governor.virginia.gov/OurCommonwealth/Proclamations/2010/ConfederateHistoryMonth.cfm〕 Four states that were historically part of the Confederacy, Arkansas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, do not have a tradition of declaring a Confederate History Month. Some local governments in the above states also frequently approve an independent declaration for the same larger purpose. This is also true in states where the larger legislative body does not officially recognize Confederate History Month. Some examples include: * Missouri * Prestonburg, Kentucky Murray, Kentucky〔Murray Ledger and Times〕 * City of Columbia, Tennessee * Putnam County, Tennessee * Lee County, Florida passed a resolution on April 6, 2006 proclaiming April as Confederate Heritage Month. This is forever in effect. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Confederate History Month」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
