Before 1861 Davis was a typical Democrat politician, period.
At a time when total Federal spending ran around $50 million per year, Davis got the government to spend $10 million** of that (Gadsden Purchase) for 30,000 square miles of desert, added to New Mexico, for a Southern Route to the transcontinental railroad -- which would also, conveniently, run near Davis' home in Mississippi.

Davis was a typical Democrat, period.

**BTW, if $10 million for 30,000 square miles of desert sounds cheap, it was still almost 20 times more per square mile than President Jefferson paid for his Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
And Pres. Jefferson himself could not benefit financially from his purchase.

If you really are a professor per your sychophants assertion then you’re a simpleton lacking intellectual curiosity

Comparing Davis or Lee to a 2021 democrat is just stupid

It’s like arguing gender today

Not surprising for a leftist

I doubt you’ve shed blood or sacrificed for much...you don’t have time..you live here

I could be wrong ...you can claim anything here

You could be Audie Murphy

In my view the radical Republicans whose boots you lather were the equivalent of today’s nut jobs on the left

Their peers and history calls them RADICAL REPUBLICANS for a reason
