He was also a cross-dresser. Fought for slavery.

A true paragon of virtue.

“Fought for slavery.”

So did those in the Revolutionary War. The US Constitution has slavery in it.

Oh, did you know that the first slave was a black man and his owner was also a black man? It was a black man that started slavery in the US when slavery was not allowed. He went to court and got an order giving him rights to another human being, another black man. That’s right, a black man started slavery and the founding fathers upheld slavery in the US.

Davis was not a cross-dresser.

We all condemn slavery today, but Jefferson Davis lived in a society in which it was both legal and recognized by th Constitution. He was a Christian man in a very different world.

Our slaves came to America, some as volunteers, from a continent of constant misery and violence. Most found Christianity because they came to America.
