If you need to do business with the State of Alabama on June 1, you're out of luck.

State offices will be closed Monday to mark the birthday of Jefferson Davis. The state is the last to have a legal holiday set aside to solely commemorate the birthday of Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America from 1861-1865.

Mississippi still commemorates the day but combined the Davis' celebration with Memorial Day. Texas rolls it into something called "Confederate Heroes Day. " Other Southern states, including Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, have unofficial holidays to commemorate Davis' birth.

But Alabama stands alone in its reverence for the Old South. If you have any doubt, consider this: in all, the state has three holidays set aside to honor 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' birthday in June.

It's also interesting to note that the state commemorates the day despite Davis not being a native Alabamian and actually spending only a short period of time in Montgomery before the capital of the Confederacy was moved to Richmond, Virginia.

Davis, born June 3, 1808 in Kentucky and later represented Mississippi in Congress. He was inaugurated as president of the Confederacy on Feb. 18, 1861 in Montgomery. He was captured after the war, imprisoned for two years and released without trial and spent his retirement years on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

We'd like to hear from you. Is it time to scrap Jefferson Davis' birthday as an official state holiday? Should the state still have three separate Confederate-related holidays?
