At that moment, Jervis's mother tried to establish Mother's Friendship day as she hopes it is a way to dealing with the aftermath of Civil War. After that, Anna Jervis began a campaign in order to create a national holiday. Mother's day is a day that we could show our honor and respect to our mother.

In 1872, Mother's day was suggested by Julia Ward Howe.
In 1910, West Virginia is the first state tat recognize this new holiday and all the nation followed in 1914 when President Wilson declared that the mother's day will be at the second Sunday in May.
