As long as we have the day off, remember to honor the half-million American Civil War dead who gave their lives to reunite the United States and end slavery forever. The American tradition of barbecue shall bring us all together. It's as good as Summer, the weather is great, and why not have a second day equivalent to the 4th of July?

If we are going to use it as a history lesson, we should announce:
Every American should know these key historical points. They should also be aware of the DS playbook and their continuous efforts to create division.
If we co-opt what they intended as a divisive holiday, we beat them at their own game. I don’t care what they call the holiday, what I care about is people learn the underlying history it commemorates. And, every point you listed is part of that history.
