My Response to Tennessee

The state of Tennessee recently established a Nathan Bedford Forrest day, in “honor” of the Confederate Cavalry general and founder of the KKK. In response, I believe the state of Virginia should establish an Admiral John Glasgow Farragut day, in honor of the Civil War UNION admiral.
