Alabamians sparred on social media June 2 as the state celebrated the birthday of Confederate president Jefferson Davis. State offices were closed Monday.

“This reminds me of how Germany takes off work to celebrate Hitler’s birthday. Wait,” said Steven Michels in response to AL.com’s post on Facebook about the holiday.

“Better than MLK holiday,” said Howard Talbott.

“Just in time for the brand new ‘Confederate Park’ we now have in Eufaula, Alabama. While others are removing remnants of the confederacy, Eufaula is doubling down. SMH,” said Andrew Forte.

“But they don’t want us to have Juneteenth,” said Monique E.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into law to make Juneteenth a state holiday this month.

Davis was born on June 3 in Kentucky. Alabama, Florida and Mississippi are the only states that have a holiday for Davis.

Alabama has three state holidays that commemorate Confederate leaders: Robert E. Lee’s birthday, which is commemorated in January on the same day as Martin Luther King Day; Confederate Memorial Day in April; and Davis’s birthday in June.

“So a holiday celebrating a guy who was indicted for treason in 1865?” Hannah Carpenter quipped on Facebook.

“Somebody literally just asked me ‘was this a holiday or something bc so many offices are closed,’ and I said ‘Idk but if it is, it’s probably one of those BS confederate holidays,’ and I was right! Lol! Hilarious! People are delusional,” T LaShay Jordan posted.

“You can’t erase history no matter how hard you try,” said Donna Sebo Brown. “Proud of my Confederate Heritage!”

“Honoring the true heros,” said Bart Corneilus.

“These the same people trying to remove text books about slavery and the Confederacy and argue that was a long time ago,” said Alcorneilus Easterling.

“So embarrassing,” said LaVada Raouf.
