Jefferson Davis (and his bigshot secessionist, slaveholding buddies) were not exactly pioneers in the fight for personal liberty. They were proponents of the State ("State's rights has always been their battle cry), a State big enough to protect the elitist bigshot slaveholders from the serfs and slaves who surrounded them and who were forced to support their, worthless, parasitic, lazy lifestyles.
The secessionists were/are Statists with a capital S.
“Jefferson Davis (and his bigshot secessionist, slaveholding buddies) “
Care to talk about murdering Sherman AND his “bigshot, slaveholding buddies, including himself!!
