Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Billboard Ad Proclaims the Southern Heritage of Thanksgiving

The Prattville Dragoons placed a new electronic billboard advertisement for Thanksgiving which details the first Thanksgivings were in the South including in St.Augustine Florida in 1565 and at Berkeley Plantation in 1619, years before the Pilgrims in Plymouth colony conceived of a day of Thanksgiving.  The billboard also provides reference to Confederate President Jefferson Davis' proclamation to establish a day of Thanksgiving in October of 1861, again, years before Lincoln plagiarized it.  The camp has rotating digital boards at Hwy 14 and I-65 and at the intersection of Memorial Dr. and Cobbs Ford Rd in Prattville.  This ad was replaced by the camp's annual Christmas billboard ad on Sunday to run for the month before the Christmas holiday.
