Jefferson Davis was an extremely difficult man in his temperament. He was stubborn, held public grudges with his peers and subordinates and was simply an arrogant man..
While in Congress his stubbornness and arrogance had others
in the Senate calling him “Majesty Davis’’.
A journalist once wrote of him by saying that Davis was ‘’unforgiving as a Spaniard to those whom he fancies his foes’’.
His own wife Varnia said of him that he was a ‘’nervous dyspeptic by habit’’.
If it can be said that the strength of a group depends on the will of it’s leader, well, Jefferson had the will alright but he didn’t have the way.
With people that is.
Little wonder the Confederacy fell apart.
Varina Davis was to say the least outspoken as hell....a fembot in her era
Pot calling kettle black about strident personality in my opinion tween those two
She married 17 years older Davis for the financial security her daddy being broke and her not having other prospects and her used to being rich
She did however have SIX KIDS with him...can’t have hated him too much.
Davis however she was to her credit did her duty when called upon her whole life
People today have no concept of duty
Nobody could have administered a Richmond victory except in a quick victory of “ok you can leave but let’s have understandings” compromise
A war of attrition despite Lees luck and skill was sure defeat given your arms and manpower superiority in the long run something Grant understood well and took advantage of
It was as you are prone to say ad nauseum here....a Lost Cause ...baring extraordinary luck..from jump street
