You don't have a clue, do you?

When you type Jefferson Davis confederate president, you get a lot of pages at the end of your search that have "confederate" and "president" in them but not "Jefferson" or "Davis."

Ditto if I typed Abraham Lincoln united states president.

That gets me 1,930,000 pages, and the last of them probably have "United States" and "President" but not "Abraham" and "Lincoln" on them.

The fair search is between "Jefferson Davis" and "Abraham Lincoln."

If you want you can compare "Jefferson Davis Confederate President" and "Abraham Lincoln United States President."

For whatever it's worth, Lincoln beats Davis in both competitions.

You end a lot of these exchanges telling people to go away.

Looking over your own dismal contributions to the discussion that sounds like good advice.

If you want to take it, now would be a good time for it.

Let's get back to square one (1). One of your cohorts stated that Davis was resigned to obscurity after the war.

The fact is that he wasn't resigned to obscurity and is still the subject of debate both pro and con.

Refute that, x-girl.

Now, go away.
