16 January - Lee–Jackson Day in Virginia
Lee–Jackson Day was a state holiday in the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia, commemorating Confederate commanders, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Its observation was eliminated in 2020, replaced by Election Day as a state holiday.
The original holiday created in 1889 celebrated Lee's birthday (January 19) until 1904, which brought the addition of Jackson's name and birthday (January 21). In 1983, the holiday was merged with the then-new federal holiday Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as Lee–Jackson–King Day in Virginia.
