General Robert E Lee and General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson were confederate officers during the American Civil War representing the South. Both are Virginia natives and both were born in the month of January, the 19th and 21st respectively.
In recent years there has been a noted backlash against all celebrations of the confederacy and its icons.

Until 2000, the state celebrated all three men on the same day.
