Let me recommend a column about the Davis Holiday by Bryan Lyman in The Advertiser. You can read it HERE.

 

Davis was the first (and only) president of the Confederacy. He was sworn in on the upper steps of The Alabama Capitol building, a spot marked by a copper star * at the front of The Alabama Capitol building.

 

 

(* the Daughters of The Confederacy marker uses the religious 6-point star, mostly considered the religious star symbol, "The Star of David".)
