You've not yet provided a citation for your over-the-top hyperbole, "Jefferson Davis ran one of the worst constitution trashing, big intrusive government, high tax, high regulation, fiscally irresponsible administrations in recorded history."
Does your cited book say that the Confederacy was one of the worst in recorded history in those matters? If so, please provide the quote. If not, we are left to conclude that your statement is simply what we might expect from a rabid anti-Confederate poster.
I suppose that one person's belief is another person's hyperbole. Be it lack of a supreme court or protectionist tariffs or promises to end slavery, Davis ignored his constitution in ways never dreamed of by Lincoln. You will no doubt argue that. Davis's government intruded in virtually every aspect of every segment of Southern life through taxes, travel restrictions, seizing private property for state use, controlling whole industries, declaring martial law, conscription, food shortages and jailing people without charges. You will no doubt claim Lincoln was worse; again a matter of opinion. The confederate economy was a basket case, made worse by Davis policies like his cotton embargo and running the printing presses at the mint at full speed. You will no doubt defend him and use some newspaper editorial to support your claims. In the end I do believe that all that demonstrates that Davis ran one of the worst constitution trashing, big intrusive government, high tax, high regulation, fiscally irresponsible administrations in recorded history because I can't think of too many that were worse. You'll no doubt declare that Davis' government was none of that. So be it. Tomato, tomahto. Mobilation, peaceful intent. We apparently disagree on a lot of things, semantics wise.
But hyperbole aside, and knowing what we know about libertarian beliefs, can you please explain to me why a libertarian should love the Davis government? Disagree with my claims all you want, I don't care. But go back to the beginning of the discussion and explain why Hunterite is right and that true libertarians should love the Davis government. Can you do that because I can't see how it's possible.
