Jefferson Davis was SELECTED not ELECTED, real Americans know the difference...

A lie repeated is still a lie. Jefferson Davis was nominated in committee (the Constitutional Convention) and was ELECTED Provisional President. With the ratification of the permanent convention, Davis RAN for election and won the seat.

The voters did not elected Davis to anything, no matter how you spin it. Davis, and that other one, Stephens, were selected, hand picked by the chief promoters of the pro-slavery's 'Plantation Incorporated', their good friends.

And they say Lincoln was an ugly looking cat? - LOL - This is Poster Boy for cosmetic surgery!

No wonder he needed other people to horsewhip down. Imagine looking in the mirror at that everyday?
