LOL, a real side splitter there!
You don’t think Jefferson Davis suspended habeas corpus throughout the South, presided over widespread oppression and extortion of Southerners and generally ruled through a reign of terror in Dixie? Lincoln haters make much of his “tyranny” but the worst prospect a dissenter could usually expect in the North was a possible visit to jail and that only if his activites posed a strong danger to the war. In the South, a dissenter better have been ready to run because he was in danger of the hangman’s noose or worse. Hitler, Himmler, Stalin and Beria would have proud of the Confederate police state.
