Wrong, wrong and wrong.
We have a winner!
And if it hasn’t been mentioned, he was a Democrat.
It was suggested that Bragg so hated Davis that he may have done what he did on purpose. Of course, Bragg argued even with himself-that was the way he was.
If the idiots Lincoln and Halleck would have let Grant do what he wanted at the beginning, that war would have been over very early. Grant feared no southern general like he feared Johnson. He knew that if the south would have followed Johnsons tactics and draw the war out, the north would have grown so weary of the war that they would have sued for peace.

I ran across the Jefferson Davis Monument at Fairview, Ky by accident, just driving from one end of Kentucky to the other.
Surprised, I took several pictures because I had never heard of the Jeff Davis Monument. Got home and found that I had left the lens cap on. No pictures.

There’s a local woman whose name is Tertia. Yup, she was number 3.
Jefferson Davis was one of American history’s true statesmen. He will always be revered by those true to Constitutional government and the American Revolution.
With 400,000 brave young Americans dead to his credit.
Yeah, real statesman alright.
Varina, dear, let your husband rest in peace and may he spend the rest of Eternity shaking the hand of each man, woman and child who suffered and died in the bloodiest war America has ever fought.
FReegards!
It was a horrible bloody war, you are correct, and it did not need to be fought. As Davis said just before leaving the Union and joining the South, “We just want to be left alone.”
But unlike many of the following wars, it was a cause fought for freedom as prescribed by the founders of this nation. Not for nation building, not for oil, not for expediency of trade.
Davis was an American patriot and a southern hero- but not at the same time.
I guess that’s why his own people wanted to hang him from a sour apple tree.
