The single biggest event in US history is the Civil War. We should have a holiday commemorating the preservation of the Union and the end of slavery. But half of the country would want to celebrate the Confederacy.
If we did have a Civil War holiday we could roll Memorial Day and Veterans day into one. Or we could just get rid of Columbus Day. Who really gives a shit about him anymore?
We could also use a holiday to celebrate the women's rights movement. Black men won the right to vote before women did. The women who fought for suffrage faced long odds. They were true heroes. It is hard for me to imagine that women only won the right to vote after our country was 150 years old. It could be called "Titty Day".
