So what would you call a man who suspended civil liberties, threatened newspapers, jailed dissidents, ignored the constitution, nationalized business, siezed private property for government purposes and tried to implement confiscatory taxes? Why you would call him Jefferson Davis, of course. So why doesn't DiLorenzo have a problem with that record?

There's no money or notoriety in bashing Jefferson Davis.

Davis advanced some of the same positions as Lincoln, but he gets a free pass from the CSA apologists on FR because he was a slave holder.

Have you thought of seeking help for this obsession you have with Jefferson Davis?
