While reading this, keep in mind that Varina Davis was swarthy, and much shunned even as she was first lady of the Confederacy as a muletto or indian squaw. She was reported to call her self a half breed, refering in part to her Northern relatives. Her olive complexion was attributed to a Welch ancestor.
As usual, the pretended confederacy had a pretense of a hard line between those of African descent who were to be eternal slaves, and those who were not of African descent who were destined to rule. Even in the office of their pretended President, things were much more complex than that.
