Death of Jefferson Davis Remembered

Headline shenanigans alert. I am reasonably certain there's no one on earth who remembers something that happened in 1889.

That's the sort of thing that leads me down a Google rabbit hole where I learn that the oldest woman in the world lives in the same Indiana nursing home as the tallest woman in the world.

“I’m reasonably certain there’s no one on Earth who remembers something that happened in 1889”.
There’s certainly no one alive who can remember, however there’s a little something called “Institutional Memory” whereby happenings in the past and Traditions are handed down through the Generations. Such as the memories of the War Between the States. In many ways, some of those issues are as resolvent today as then such as the proper role of the States visa vis the Federal Government.
Many of our Yankee friends seem to favor the Federal Supremacy while the Founders certainly favored State Supremacy and severely limited Federal Power by the “Chains of the Constitution”.
Unfortunately, while the Framers gave us a Republic, we were unable to keep it.
