National holidays in an independent South

Just for fun:

New Year's Day: Jan. 1st

Lee-Jackson Day: 2nd Friday in January

Confederation Day/Independence Day: February 4th

Battle of Manassas Day/Victory Day: July 21st

Veteran's Day (if they joined WW1/if there was a World War I/If the armistice was the same day): November 11

Christmas Day: December 25th

---

I think that at least three holidays could be added. Would the Confederates also have a Labor Day? When would they celebrate Memorial Day?
 
May Day - May 1st
Day of the People’s Revolution - whenever the people rise against the slaveholders.
 
if this is a cartoonishly evil version of the Confederacy, one could be based on whenever slave ships would most frequently come into port, if there was any such schedule
 
July 4th still celebrated though with less enthusiasm than in the North. In times of good relations perhaps the U.S. and Confederate President go to joint ceremonies, perhaps at Yorktown.
 
End of the War Day. Whenever the peace treaty was signed. Perhaps a day of sorrow in the North or celebrated as Good Riddance Day.

I'd imagine July 4 would still be celebrated, though perhaps not as much as December 20 or February 4.

Christmas, Easter, all the Christian ones, of course.

I'd imagine they'd have some kind of veterans' day, presidents' day, etc. Maybe a Lee Day or Davis Day.

Pretty much the same as America but replacing Northern contexts with Southern ones.
 
December 20? Ah, South Carolina. They might focus on when the Confederacy was formed though. Another idea would be if they continued to celebrate the Eight (Battle of New Orleans).

Some states have had Confederate Memorial Day.
 
makes me wonder if there has been a timeline of a south surviving only to see it undergo a revolution of its own?

I haven't seen one. I alluded to one happening down the line in my TL a Mexican Victory, but I never made it that far. However, IMHO it is the most logical outcome in a CSA victory.
The CSA won't be OTL's South with access to the rest of the US markets, Federal funding, educated labor force, and migration that has allowed the South to industrialize and diversify its economy. At best, Atlanta will look like Birmingham Alabama, Birmingham like Jackson Mississippi. An independent CSA is likely to remain semi-agrarian, become an international pariah, and suffer severe economic upheavals everytime oil prices drop.

Well, in my timeline on the writer's forum the South undergoes a civil war after a president tries to implement a free birth policy.
