A remarkable man , with a remarkable story . Jefferson Davis will always be my president and I always defend his name and honor along with every other man who stood in face of tyranny , outnumbered , out gunned willing to die for the right . The right to self governance and the right of the states to remain sovereign and nullify harmful federal laws , the right to self determination that was taken for granted and covered by the 10th amendment. South Carolinian here , my distant uncle was John Henninger Reagan postmaster and last treasurer of the CSA and senator from Texas . God bless Jeff Davis God bless Dixie Sic semper Tyrannis Deo vindice
the main reason for self governance was the right to keep the institution of slavery i cannot read that right in your comment any other right is mentioned by you except the right to keep people of colour in chains treated less then livestock
@@bradleymarshall5489 yeah, as a last ditch effort hail mary towards the end of the war, because they knew they were losing and the only way they'd win was by gaining foreign support. Try harder.
May God bless Mr. Hayes-Davis and his great-great grandfather. Regardless of how one feels about the War Between the States, the Confederates States of America, or President Davis, one cannot honestly and learnedly deny that President Davis was both a great American and an American Hero. One does not have to agree with him to recognize this; I disagree vehemently with Andrew Jackson's actions taken during South Carolina nullification, but I still acknowledge that great general as a true American Hero. What I admire most about President Davis is that he did what he believed was right and stood up for his cause to the very end, never once apologizing for nor denouncing any actions he took in doing what he believed in. Today, that great man is reviled by the ignorant and the dishonest, but, so long as I draw breath, I will admire the steadfast courage and integrity of Jefferson Finis Davis; may God bless his descendants.
Thank you very much for your beautiful words about my Grandpa I think about my Grandma Varina Daily Most people never speak about her She was drop dead gorgeous brilliant and a mixed race mullatta ✊🏾
It isn't about how someone feels, it is about the facts. Lincoln did the same thing that Putin is doing now, invaded a sovereign country and proceeded to destroy said country.
Well summarized biography of a great American President. Thank you Mr. Hayes-Davis for your dedication to sustain the heroic memory and honorable legacy of Jefferson Davis!
Outstanding 👏👏👏 It's good to see their direct decendents defending their Confederate Ancestors and most importantly the Truth. Jefferson Davis is a Hero and a Patriot.🇸🇴❎
Im certain in the coming years our gallant southern dead , & our Trusted confederate statesmen will be seen in a positive light as it becomes painfully obvious again some of the many reasons the southern states seceded in 61 . Wade Hampton said if Washington was a patriot then Lee could not have been a traitor . I think the same can be said for Jeff davis and all our southern men from the 15 year old private serving on home guard to the Jackson and Lee . These were men and boys who had the heart of a lion to stand against 4x their numbers and whip the enemy when it was possible and die like warriors when it was not , so that an independence earned by their grandfathers sword could be protected for their grandsons unknown . We can’t give in to the cultural Marxism . We have to stand firm and protect our history , our stories , our heritage, and the good name of our ancestors. Stand firm as Jeff Davis and in our lifetime they will again be remembered as the heroic , steadfast patriots they were. They will be admired and studied upon so that they may be emulated. In Gods time …. Deo vindice Sic semper Tyrannis
Our beloved United States would be far better off if the South had seceded. People must remember… this was not a “civil war” rather a “war of secession”.
The disagreement over slavery superseded the secession. The colonies where tepid over slavery by the founding. Only 300,000 were brought to the colonies while 10 million were brought to Brazil and the islands. Another 10 million were brought to the Middle East. None survived. The Southern states allowed and encouraged slave families and such and by the time of the Civil War, there were 2 to 3 million slaves. At the same time, England was spending over 5% of GDP to end slavery worldwide.
Indeed, it is a great honor. What a travesty the way that these court 'historians' and the publishing world have twisted and turned history on its head.
I am related to the Fords of the historic John Ford Home in Marion County, MS. In 1816 delegates met there to discuss their plans for MS statehood. If I remember right Joseph Davis was there. During the war, My GG-grandfather was in a company of the 7th MS with the name Jeff Davis Sharp Shooters. I am happy to have such ties to this history.
Love him! His picture hangs in the foyer of my home. You can't miss it.... as it should be in every Southern home. Lee is right next to him. Nobody has ever commented negatively but only very high regards. This is good because, like the flag. he will never come down. Not ever , no way... this I know. I will not do it
I read his Rise and Fall of the Confederacy. He could write. He said the Civil War was about the constitution but later historians will change the narrative to the morality of slavery. He was right.
That was what Davis said later to save face. Back in 1861, he was totally honest about slavery as the Confederate cause _"It has been a conviction of pressing necessity, it has been a belief that we are to be deprived in the Union of the rights which our fathers bequeathed to us, which has brought Mississippi into her present decision. She has heard proclaimed the theory that all men are created free and equal, and this made the basis of an attack upon her social institutions; and the sacred Declaration of Independence has been invoked to maintain the position of the equality of the races."_ --Jefferson Davis, 1861
@@TheStapleGunKidRead the whole speech. You haven taken the quote out of context. He is talking about slavery agitation. The slaves were counted as 3/5 for representation purposes. The south wanted them to be counted as a whole person which would have given southern states greater representation in the Union. Davis is saying the north refused stating their slaves were property not citizens of the political community. He then talks about how the Declaration talks about Britain encouraging insurrection amongst the slaves. He is saying the north is agitating like Great Britain did. The abolitionists movement was encouraging slave rebellion making remaining in the Union difficult. You are taking history out of context. Lincoln said the war was not to end slavery but to preserve the Union. Lincoln was on board with the Corwin Amendment which would have made slavery legal. I recommend you read his book which gets into the constitutional reasons for southern succession.
@@libertycoffeehouse3944 I've read the whole speech. Slavery is literally the only thing Davis cites as a reason for secession. He doesn't cite taxes or tariffs or states rights or any of the excuses modern Neo-Confederates use. Just slavery. This is of course perfectly consistent with the view of his home state. This is how Mississippi starts their declarations of secession _"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."_ Also your wrong about the other things you claim too. The North never said slaves were property. They explicitly rejected that idea, which is why the US constitution refers to slaves as "persons", not property. It was the South that claimed slaves were property, which is why they wrote their Confederate constitution to have a "right to property in negro slaves". It was the South who celebrated the Dredd Scott case that ruled blacks couldn't be citizens and had no rights, but the North condemned it as evil. Your view on this is completely backwards. The Corwin amendment had nothing to do with Lincoln, it went all the way through the federal government and off to the states for a ratification vote before he was president, and the states soundly reject it. Only 5 Union states voted for ratification. Lincoln didn't care about it because it didn't stop him from banning the expansion of slavery, which would lead to slavery's doom. Of course the South knew this as well, which is why they didn't care about the Corwin amendment either. Lincoln didn't fight the war to end slavery, but the rebels fought the war to preserve it. The rebels were the ones who made the war about slavery. Lincoln didn't need to fight a war over slavery, he already had the means to deal with it by being elected president, which is exactly why the rebels seceded and started the war. The rebels said their cause was slavery. They knew what their own cause was. You don't.
@@TheStapleGunKid First off the north was complicit in the slave trade. They were shippers in the slave trade until 1808. The north was also involved in financing slavery. Northern states got rid of slavery through gradual emancipation not immediate emancipation. Slavery still existed in the north in some states until 1865. When the south succeeded you had two slave holding federal republics not one. Wage slave labor was going on in northern factories. The abolitionist were a small group that were encouraging slave insurrections in the south. For example the John Brown Raid. This made the south uneasy about being in the union when there were such vast differences between the sections. From the time the constitution was ratified there were debates in congress concerning internal improvements, a national road, national banks and national paper currency. Under Henry Clay, this became known as the American System but was more like the British Mercantile system. Lincoln was an attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad who stated he was a Henry Clay advocate. The Republican Party of 1860 stated they would prohibit slaves from the south in western territory. This kept the west for the white man. This meat new states in the Union would support the northern section and the north would have more power in congress which meant they would control the general government. The north wanted to increase the tariff rate using the Morrill Tariff. All primary documents support the north was not fighting to achieve equality of the races or end slavery in the south but to keep the south in the union. The south had an export economy. The north was forcing the south to buy products from the north by putting a high tariff on imports. This meant the south was being taxed. The north wanted to use the tax revenue in the general government for the so called American System which was really the British system. The declaration of causes of Mississippi is responding to radical abolition and in some case maters pertaining to the union. The official reason for the souths departure can be found in the Report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Presidents Message Relating to the Affairs Between the Confederate and United States. I would ask that you read the Philadelphia convention notes, the state convention notes, the debates in congress over succession, Lincoln Speeches, Debates over the American System, Corwin Amendment, Morrill Tariff. There were numerous debates in congress for over a seventy year period that explain succession.
Wonderful! Thank you, sir. I think oftentimes that Mr. Davis is overshadowed somewhat by Lee and Jackson, but it's your great-great grandfather whom I've always been the most interested in learning about. It's very fitting that he bore the great name Jefferson as a continuing link to what made America great. Is there a particular book that you could recommend as being the best to read about him?
I'm in the second of the 3-volume bio Hudson Strode wrote, and if you can find it, it is spectacular. If your state has inter-library loan, you might luck out. Long out of print.
My favorite Davis was Ossie. My favorite Jackson is Samuel Lee. My favorite Lee is Spike. As for my favorite Jefferson? I have to say it was Louise. (Sorry George).
I read Jefferson Davis book he wrote after the war and it gave the best short explanation of the beginning of our country and what the constitution was all about, that I have ever read.
A great video from a great historical figure. During the Civil War, many Hispanics fought for the Southern cause. Many Mexican northern states wanted to join the Confederacy as well. Without a doubt, the South owes so much to your great great grandfather, Jefferson Davis. Deo vindice!
Who was the lady you showed when you talked about Mrs.Davis,because that painting was not Varina Davis.You did show the real Mrs.Davis towards the end. Thank you. God Save the South.
As an unsuccessful defender of the Jefferson Davis statue in New Orleans, I appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing your great great grandfather’s story. Sadly, the street named after him was changed. I know this Marxism is all over the South. I just recently saw it all over Virginia as well. Beware of reinterpretation at historical sights.
My ancestor Winthrop Sargent was the first governor of the Mississippi territory, posted there by then president John Adams. He served along side George Washington in the revolutionary War was on the boat with Washington when they crossed the Deleware River. Winthrops grandchildren served in the Mississippi artillary, just as Winthrop was an artillaryman later in the revolutionary war.
A great and noble man of high principles who embodied American political ideals. With men like Davis in govt, America would not be on its deathbed today.
Excellent, thank you Mr. Hayes-Davis and Abbeville Institute. I knew ,Lincoln and Davis were born in Kentucky. How about that Lincoln was born a Southerner. Lol.
"African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing." "You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be." "If slavery be a sin, it is not yours. It does not rest on your action for its origin, on your consent for its existence. It is a common law right to property in the service of man; its origin was Divine decree." - Jefferson Davis
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Well maybe not the black people and the poor white laborers who coudn't make a decent living competing against people you didn't have to pay. And of course the abolitionists, and all of the European counties that had previously abolished slavery, and any slaves anyhwere else in the world. Really you only mean white profiting from slavery. Other then them you are right I suppose.
Jefferson Davis was an honorable man who genuinely gave his best to the southern cause, facing overwhelming circumstances during his presidency and for that he should be held in high regard.
The Confederate president was constitutionally limited to a single six-year term. Also, the Confederacy, probably mostly due to the distractions created by the war, lacked formal political parties at the national level. Therefore, unlike Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis had neither the interests of a political party to advance nor any prospect of re-election.
I think it’s probably safe to say that historians generally see Davis as a man who should’ve been issued a saddle instead of a president’s chair. Bell Wiley immediately comes to mind as a historian who strongly believed that Davis had more the leadership perspective of a cavalry officer than the leadership perspective of a head of state. However, a case could be made that Lincoln would’ve been a less skillful politician without the powerful incentives of re-election and the future interests of the Republican Party. Davis does deserve credit for being one of the Confederate leaders who was willing to sacrifice slavery to win the war. Too little attention is given to this fact, IMO.
I disagree with your opinion. I suggest you read Davis’ voluminous post-war writing on the subject of secession and reasoning for such. Davis was an able leader and he exerted an honorable effort.
@@inhocsignovinces1419 “I disagree with your opinion. I suggest you read Davis’ voluminous post-war writing on the subject of secession and reasoning for such. Davis was an able leader and he exerted an honorable effort.” How do his postwar writings even fall within the boundaries of this discussion? The issue here is the quality of the leadership he provided during the war. Even if his postwar writings prove beyond a doubt that he had a brilliant legal mind and a genuine devotion to the Southern cause, the burden of proof concerning his abilities as a wartime political leader would still exist. To be clear, I never accused Davis of having a dishonorable / corrput nature. In fact, anyone familiar with my posts in these forums will tell you that I’ve many times defended Davis and the CSA from the selective-outrage attacks of biased “historians.” What I see in many of the comments in this forum is a belief in the need for a Southern equivalent of the “Lincoln cult.” I don't trust personality cults, even if they originate from my own culture and heritage. I also don’t think personality cults are particularly useful in the struggle against anti-Southern bias.
@@wpc9163 Points taken. Yet, I find it myopic if not outright malevolent to judge others whom a critic has never met let borne witness to in reality/life. To think Davis a poor or unable leader is simply beyond remiss in my mind. Less judgement and more objective debate/discussion. Davis was and did his very best given all the limitations wrought upon him by the secession war and the political climate which arose from such.
@@inhocsignovinces1419 “Yet, I find it myopic if not outright malevolent to judge others whom a critic has never met let borne witness to in reality/life.” Please show where I made a moral judgment against Davis in the two previous posts. I’m talking about an assessment of his abilities that’s based on his known actions as President of the Confederate States. There are very specific reasons (i.e., reasons that aren’t abstract) why I agree with those historians who argue that Davis didn’t belong in the president’s chair. “To think Davis a poor or unable leader is simply beyond remiss in my mind. Less judgement and more objective debate/discussion." I don’t see how you can have “open debate / discussion” when you’ve already arrived at an unshakable conclusion. At the very least, one should be willing to concede that the full truth of the matter possibly is unknowable. “Davis was and did his very best given all the limitations wrought upon him by the secession war and the political climate which arose from such.” This is a moral judgment. In fact, there’s no inherent relationship between moral character and leadership ability. I can think of any number of capable leaders who were neither professionally unselfish nor admirable in their personal lives.
That private school he went to in KY was “Saint Thomas College, a Catholic preparatory school run by Dominicans” (Wikipedia). Mr. Davis asked to be accepted into the Catholic Church while attending this school, which is likely why his father pulled him out of it. He was very amenable to Catholicism and practiced several Catholic devotions, such as wearing a St. Benedict Medal, a Miraculous Medal, and brown scapular throughout his life.
Just found out that my 3rd Great Grandmother was born on the Davis Bend Plantation in 1846. Doing more research, as I’m sure that her mother had also been born on this plantation. As the years passed, she ended up in Lauderdale County, MS and eventually married Joe Gaddis, which owned one of the most profitable cotton gins (Gaddis & McLaurin Cottin Gin), along with the (Gaddis Golf Course), which is now owned by Ted Kendall.
Evidence I have seen suggests that Nancy Hanks had her illegitimate child, Abraham Lincoln, at the home of Abraham Ensloe in South Carolina near the tavern where she was a barmaid and became pregnant, likely by John C. Calhoun, an up and coming Southern politician, who made arrangements for her to marry Thomas Lincoln and be taken out of state to Kentucky so as to not ruin his political aspirations. My brother, who is a Southern historian, has seen documentation that Calhoun paid child support to Nancy Hanks Lincoln.
_"It seems to me a strange doctrine that the most serious and responsible of all human acts imposes no obligation on those who do it of showing that they have a real grievance; that those who rebel for the power of oppressing others, exercise as sacred a right as those who do the same thing to resist oppression practiced upon themselves. Neither rebellion nor any other act which affects the interests of others, is sufficiently legitimated by the mere will to do it. Secession may be laudable, and so may any other kind of insurrection; but it may also be an enormous crime. It is the one or the other, according to the object and the provocation. And if there ever was an object which, by its bare announcement, stamped rebels against a particular community as enemies of mankind, it is the one professed by the South. Their right to separate is the right which Cartouche or Turpin would have had to secede from their respective countries, because the laws of those countries would not suffer them to rob and murder on the highway. The only real difference is that the present rebels are more powerful than Cartouche or Turpin, and may possibly be able to effect their iniquitous purpose."_ --John Stuart Mill
@@TheStapleGunKid You are copying and pasting things to prove your argument but this is showing a lack of sophistication in understanding history.

@@TheStapleGunKid hi..My opinion of Arnold is not connected to my feelings about Davis in any way. Davis honorably put forward his desire/pathway to form a new country. Arnold switched sides in the middle of fighting. They're unrelated episodes, yours is just a stupid "gotcha" question that does nothing to advance conversation, and/or understanding other peoples' opinions on the Civil War. peace
@@GeorgeWashingtonX Davis was a sitting US senator who joined an active rebellion against the United States attempting to take over part of the country and turn it into a slave empire. It would seem what Davis did was identical to what Arnold did in substance, though one could argue worse in terms of impact. Davis gave the order to take Fort Sumter. All the death and destruction that followed came from a choice he intentionally made. At least Arnold was personally responsible for starting the war.
Lol except for literally every American statesman of the founding generation. If King George had vanquished George Washington, he and all his top men would have been imprisoned or executed as traitors & you'd be making the same statement about Washington while swilling down tea & crumpets.
The U.S originally was a federation or a voluntary federal union created by the States, if the States can join it freely they may also freely and legally withdraw. (Secession is not treason) under the federal constitution, it's one of the Rights respectively left to the Sovereign States under both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, States Rights and nullification were the foundation of the u.s Constitution so that if the union government should become centralized and corrupt one of the options the States would have is the ability to withdraw if need be, after all the original 13 States seceeded from the corrupt British union. But what is illegal and classified as treason under the U.S constitution is the servile Executive Branch marching federal troops "through" and "against" its constituent States without probable cause or consent of the States or Congress to impose it's will upon them or prevent them from practicing a guaranteed Right and enforcing an act that is Constitutionally protected. Trying to coerce States back into a broken union with bayonets only solidifies disunion. (Secession is not rebellion) either so don't try to pull that crap, under the Constitutional framework it's the whole principle upon which the union and the constitution were constructed, reason being the 13 States Seceeded from the British union. And the British were calling American Statesman like General George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Joseph Warren ect.. traitors because they headed a Secession movement and declared their Independence from what the British crown falsely called an "indisolvable union" just like new england did in 1861. New England is no different than Old England.
American Statesman headed Secession from the British union and those same Statesman would be the Founding Fathers, sooo..??? Isn't that what the Founding fathers did to their original "Country".. they Seceeded? The relationship between Britain and the thirteen colonies wasn't the same country as the States were their own bordered country, rather, it was a union. Your talking about the Founding Fathers because that's what they did, don't you know that...? Your literally calling the Founding Fathers traitors because they Seceeded from Britain.. The U.S is not nor ever was a "country" it is a voluntary federation of Sovereign Nation States..🙄
"The Right solemnly proclaimed at the birth of the States, and which has been affirmed and reaffirmed in the Bills of Rights of the States subsequently admitted into the Union of 1789, undeniably recognizes [in the people] the power to resume authority delegated for the purposes of government". ~Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States Of America, American Statesman, Constitutionalist, Patriot.
@gary olsen, Than your calling the Founding Fathers traitors because they and their States Seceeded from Britain and what the British crown falsely called in their time an "Indisolvable British Union". Jefferson Davis is no more of a "traitor" as you say for nullifying the U.S union government than the Founding Fathers were for nullifying the British union government, which none of them were traitors, and the causes of nullification for both generations was the exact same, No Taxation without representation, a crony centralizing government seeking to operate off of a system of corrupt Central Bank Corporate Mercantilism, a government and radical political party system that wished to dispose the Constitution of 1789 to impose its will on it's constituent States through force and coercion.

I agree. The South would be better if we had won.
Our beloved United States would be far better off if the South had seceded. People must remember… this was not a “civil war” rather a “war of secession”.
The disagreement over slavery superseded the secession. The colonies where tepid over slavery by the founding. Only 300,000 were brought to the colonies while 10 million were brought to Brazil and the islands. Another 10 million were brought to the Middle East. None survived. The Southern states allowed and encouraged slave families and such and by the time of the Civil War, there were 2 to 3 million slaves. At the same time, England was spending over 5% of GDP to end slavery worldwide.

Indeed, it is a great honor. What a travesty the way that these court 'historians' and the publishing world have twisted and turned history on its head.
I am related to the Fords of the historic John Ford Home in Marion County, MS. In 1816 delegates met there to discuss their plans for MS statehood. If I remember right Joseph Davis was there. During the war, My GG-grandfather was in a company of the 7th MS with the name Jeff Davis Sharp Shooters. I am happy to have such ties to this history.
Abbeville Institute should create a channel on Rumble for videos such as this. A new audience could be reached that desperately need to see these.
Love him! His picture hangs in the foyer of my home. You can't miss it.... as it should be in every Southern home. Lee is right next to him. Nobody has ever commented negatively but only very high regards. This is good because, like the flag. he will never come down. Not ever , no way... this I know. I will not do it
Very well done! I think these condensed presentations could become rather popular.
Great video!
So cool he’s directly related
I read his Rise and Fall of the Confederacy. He could write. He said the Civil War was about the constitution but later historians will change the narrative to the morality of slavery. He was right.
That was what Davis said later to save face. Back in 1861, he was totally honest about slavery as the Confederate cause
_"It has been a conviction of pressing necessity, it has been a belief that we are to be deprived in the Union of the rights which our fathers bequeathed to us, which has brought Mississippi into her present decision. She has heard proclaimed the theory that all men are created free and equal, and this made the basis of an attack upon her social institutions; and the sacred Declaration of Independence has been invoked to maintain the position of the equality of the races."_ --Jefferson Davis, 1861
@@TheStapleGunKidRead the whole speech. You haven taken the quote out of context. He is talking about slavery agitation. The slaves were counted as 3/5 for representation purposes. The south wanted them to be counted as a whole person which would have given southern states greater representation in the Union. Davis is saying the north refused stating their slaves were property not citizens of the political community. He then talks about how the Declaration talks about Britain encouraging insurrection amongst the slaves. He is saying the north is agitating like Great Britain did. The abolitionists movement was encouraging slave rebellion making remaining in the Union difficult. You are taking history out of context. Lincoln said the war was not to end slavery but to preserve the Union. Lincoln was on board with the Corwin Amendment which would have made slavery legal. I recommend you read his book which gets into the constitutional reasons for southern succession.
@@libertycoffeehouse3944 He's a typical Yankee. Don't waste your time with him.
@@libertycoffeehouse3944 I've read the whole speech. Slavery is literally the only thing Davis cites as a reason for secession. He doesn't cite taxes or tariffs or states rights or any of the excuses modern Neo-Confederates use. Just slavery. This is of course perfectly consistent with the view of his home state. This is how Mississippi starts their declarations of secession
_"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."_
Also your wrong about the other things you claim too. The North never said slaves were property. They explicitly rejected that idea, which is why the US constitution refers to slaves as "persons", not property. It was the South that claimed slaves were property, which is why they wrote their Confederate constitution to have a "right to property in negro slaves". It was the South who celebrated the Dredd Scott case that ruled blacks couldn't be citizens and had no rights, but the North condemned it as evil. Your view on this is completely backwards.
The Corwin amendment had nothing to do with Lincoln, it went all the way through the federal government and off to the states for a ratification vote before he was president, and the states soundly reject it. Only 5 Union states voted for ratification. Lincoln didn't care about it because it didn't stop him from banning the expansion of slavery, which would lead to slavery's doom. Of course the South knew this as well, which is why they didn't care about the Corwin amendment either. Lincoln didn't fight the war to end slavery, but the rebels fought the war to preserve it. The rebels were the ones who made the war about slavery. Lincoln didn't need to fight a war over slavery, he already had the means to deal with it by being elected president, which is exactly why the rebels seceded and started the war. The rebels said their cause was slavery. They knew what their own cause was. You don't.
@@TheStapleGunKid First off the north was complicit in the slave trade. They were shippers in the slave trade until 1808. The north was also involved in financing slavery. Northern states got rid of slavery through gradual emancipation not immediate emancipation. Slavery still existed in the north in some states until 1865. When the south succeeded you had two slave holding federal republics not one. Wage slave labor was going on in northern factories. The abolitionist were a small group that were encouraging slave insurrections in the south. For example the John Brown Raid. This made the south uneasy about being in the union when there were such vast differences between the sections. From the time the constitution was ratified there were debates in congress concerning internal improvements, a national road, national banks and national paper currency. Under Henry Clay, this became known as the American System but was more like the British Mercantile system. Lincoln was an attorney for the Illinois Central Railroad who stated he was a Henry Clay advocate. The Republican Party of 1860 stated they would prohibit slaves from the south in western territory. This kept the west for the white man. This meat new states in the Union would support the northern section and the north would have more power in congress which meant they would control the general government. The north wanted to increase the tariff rate using the Morrill Tariff. All primary documents support the north was not fighting to achieve equality of the races or end slavery in the south but to keep the south in the union. The south had an export economy. The north was forcing the south to buy products from the north by putting a high tariff on imports. This meant the south was being taxed. The north wanted to use the tax revenue in the general government for the so called American System which was really the British system. The declaration of causes of Mississippi is responding to radical abolition and in some case maters pertaining to the union. The official reason for the souths departure can be found in the Report of the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Presidents Message Relating to the Affairs Between the Confederate and United States. I would ask that you read the Philadelphia convention notes, the state convention notes, the debates in congress over succession, Lincoln Speeches, Debates over the American System, Corwin Amendment, Morrill Tariff. There were numerous debates in congress for over a seventy year period that explain succession.
Wonderful! Thank you, sir. I think oftentimes that Mr. Davis is overshadowed somewhat by Lee and Jackson, but it's your great-great grandfather whom I've always been the most interested in learning about. It's very fitting that he bore the great name Jefferson as a continuing link to what made America great. Is there a particular book that you could recommend as being the best to read about him?
I think the same. Davis is overshadowed by Lee and Jackson. He didn't quit until captured.
Probably the rise and fall of the confederacy
there's also an interview between davis and a northern journalist in '64
I think highly of the biography 'Jefferson Davis' by Clement Eaton.
I'm in the second of the 3-volume bio Hudson Strode wrote, and if you can find it, it is spectacular. If your state has inter-library loan, you might luck out. Long out of print.
My favorite Davis was Ossie. My favorite Jackson is Samuel Lee. My favorite Lee is Spike. As for my favorite Jefferson? I have to say it was Louise. (Sorry George).
I read Jefferson Davis book he wrote after the war and it gave the best short explanation of the beginning of our country and what the constitution was all about, that I have ever read.
A great video from a great historical figure. During the Civil War, many Hispanics fought for the Southern cause. Many Mexican northern states wanted to join the Confederacy as well. Without a doubt, the South owes so much to your great great grandfather, Jefferson Davis. Deo vindice!
Thank you, for sharing the history of your family.
Thank God for this man and his quest to seek out this history.

As an unsuccessful defender of the Jefferson Davis statue in New Orleans, I appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing your great great grandfather’s story. Sadly, the street named after him was changed. I know this Marxism is all over the South. I just recently saw it all over Virginia as well. Beware of reinterpretation at historical sights.
A great man forced into an impossible situation!
Great video. Thanks
My ancestor Winthrop Sargent was the first governor of the Mississippi territory, posted there by then president John Adams. He served along side George Washington in the revolutionary War was on the boat with Washington when they crossed the Deleware River. Winthrops grandchildren served in the Mississippi artillary, just as Winthrop was an artillaryman later in the revolutionary war.
Neat
That's some family narrative.
A great and noble man of high principles who embodied American political ideals. With men like Davis in govt, America would not be on its deathbed today.
Concur.
Excellent as always
Very touching video. Perfect
Fascinating individual beyond comprehension.

Lincoln was considered to be insane by modern studies.

The story/life very well told.
Excellent! Very well done.
"African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing."
"You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be."
"If slavery be a sin, it is not yours. It does not rest on your action for its origin, on your consent for its existence. It is a common law right to property in the service of man; its origin was Divine decree."
- Jefferson Davis
Lincoln thought the same pretty much people did everywhere.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Well maybe not the black people and the poor white laborers who coudn't make a decent living competing against people you didn't have to pay. And of course the abolitionists, and all of the European counties that had previously abolished slavery, and any slaves anyhwere else in the world. Really you only mean white profiting from slavery. Other then them you are right I suppose.
🤍 President Davis
Excellent video.
"I love the Union and I love the Constitution, but I would rather leave the Union with the Constitution than stay without it."
Great video, I learned a lot.
Jefferson Davis was an honorable man who genuinely gave his best to the southern cause, facing overwhelming circumstances during his presidency and for that he should be held in high regard.
Wasn’t Lincoln actually born in NC? And it’s Petersburg Va.. Great video!! Thank you AI! Deo Vindice!!
The Confederate president was constitutionally limited to a single six-year term. Also, the Confederacy, probably mostly due to the distractions created by the war, lacked formal political parties at the national level. Therefore, unlike Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis had neither the interests of a political party to advance nor any prospect of re-election.
I think it’s probably safe to say that historians generally see Davis as a man who should’ve been issued a saddle instead of a president’s chair. Bell Wiley immediately comes to mind as a historian who strongly believed that Davis had more the leadership perspective of a cavalry officer than the leadership perspective of a head of state. However, a case could be made that Lincoln would’ve been a less skillful politician without the powerful incentives of re-election and the future interests of the Republican Party.
Davis does deserve credit for being one of the Confederate leaders who was willing to sacrifice slavery to win the war. Too little attention is given to this fact, IMO.
I disagree with your opinion. I suggest you read Davis’ voluminous post-war writing on the subject of secession and reasoning for such. Davis was an able leader and he exerted an honorable effort.
@@inhocsignovinces1419 “I disagree with your opinion. I suggest you read Davis’ voluminous post-war writing on the subject of secession and reasoning for such. Davis was an able leader and he exerted an honorable effort.”
How do his postwar writings even fall within the boundaries of this discussion? The issue here is the quality of the leadership he provided during the war. Even if his postwar writings prove beyond a doubt that he had a brilliant legal mind and a genuine devotion to the Southern cause, the burden of proof concerning his abilities as a wartime political leader would still exist.
To be clear, I never accused Davis of having a dishonorable / corrput nature. In fact, anyone familiar with my posts in these forums will tell you that I’ve many times defended Davis and the CSA from the selective-outrage attacks of biased “historians.”
What I see in many of the comments in this forum is a belief in the need for a Southern equivalent of the “Lincoln cult.” I don't trust personality cults, even if they originate from my own culture and heritage. I also don’t think personality cults are particularly useful in the struggle against anti-Southern bias.
@@wpc9163 Points taken. Yet, I find it myopic if not outright malevolent to judge others whom a critic has never met let borne witness to in reality/life. To think Davis a poor or unable leader is simply beyond remiss in my mind. Less judgement and more objective debate/discussion. Davis was and did his very best given all the limitations wrought upon him by the secession war and the political climate which arose from such.
@@inhocsignovinces1419 “Yet, I find it myopic if not outright malevolent to judge others whom a critic has never met let borne witness to in reality/life.”
Please show where I made a moral judgment against Davis in the two previous posts. I’m talking about an assessment of his abilities that’s based on his known actions as President of the Confederate States. There are very specific reasons (i.e., reasons that aren’t abstract) why I agree with those historians who argue that Davis didn’t belong in the president’s chair.
“To think Davis a poor or unable leader is simply beyond remiss in my mind. Less judgement and more objective debate/discussion."
I don’t see how you can have “open debate / discussion” when you’ve already arrived at an unshakable conclusion. At the very least, one should be willing to concede that the full truth of the matter possibly is unknowable.
“Davis was and did his very best given all the limitations wrought upon him by the secession war and the political climate which arose from such.”
This is a moral judgment. In fact, there’s no inherent relationship between moral character and leadership ability. I can think of any number of capable leaders who were neither professionally unselfish nor admirable in their personal lives.
What in the wide wide world of sports are you talking about? Yankees don't get to decide what our leaders were all about.
god. bless. Jefferson. davis
That private school he went to in KY was “Saint Thomas College, a Catholic preparatory school run by Dominicans” (Wikipedia). Mr. Davis asked to be accepted into the Catholic Church while attending this school, which is likely why his father pulled him out of it. He was very amenable to Catholicism and practiced several Catholic devotions, such as wearing a St. Benedict Medal, a Miraculous Medal, and brown scapular throughout his life.
KNEW THEY WERE BOTH BORN IN KENTUCKY
Thank you
Just found out that my 3rd Great Grandmother was born on the Davis Bend Plantation in 1846. Doing more research, as I’m sure that her mother had also been born on this plantation. As the years passed, she ended up in Lauderdale County, MS and eventually married Joe Gaddis, which owned one of the most profitable cotton gins (Gaddis & McLaurin Cottin Gin), along with the (Gaddis Golf Course), which is now owned by Ted Kendall.
Evidence I have seen suggests that Nancy Hanks had her illegitimate child, Abraham Lincoln, at the home of Abraham Ensloe in South Carolina near the tavern where she was a barmaid and became pregnant, likely by John C. Calhoun, an up and coming Southern politician, who made arrangements for her to marry Thomas Lincoln and be taken out of state to Kentucky so as to not ruin his political aspirations. My brother, who is a Southern historian, has seen documentation that Calhoun paid child support to Nancy Hanks Lincoln.
Do you think the government should be involved in the economy? If so why?
Very well done
A state may secede for any reason.
They could legally secede at that time. it has been "illegal" for a State to secede since the 1869 Texas vs. White case.
@@karenbartlett1307 There was nothing legal about it at the time.
_"It seems to me a strange doctrine that the most serious and responsible of all human acts imposes no obligation on those who do it of showing that they have a real grievance; that those who rebel for the power of oppressing others, exercise as sacred a right as those who do the same thing to resist oppression practiced upon themselves. Neither rebellion nor any other act which affects the interests of others, is sufficiently legitimated by the mere will to do it. Secession may be laudable, and so may any other kind of insurrection; but it may also be an enormous crime. It is the one or the other, according to the object and the provocation. And if there ever was an object which, by its bare announcement, stamped rebels against a particular community as enemies of mankind, it is the one professed by the South. Their right to separate is the right which Cartouche or Turpin would have had to secede from their respective countries, because the laws of those countries would not suffer them to rob and murder on the highway. The only real difference is that the present rebels are more powerful than Cartouche or Turpin, and may possibly be able to effect their iniquitous purpose."_ --John Stuart Mill
@@TheStapleGunKid You are copying and pasting things to prove your argument but this is showing a lack of sophistication in understanding history. The Declaration of Independence was a succession document. Texas succeeded from Mexico. The US succeeded from the articles to form a more perfect union. Copying one persons opinion and taking that opinion out of context is not historical scholarship. You should change your name to copy and paste kid.

Davis was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.. just my subjective opinion.
I suppose you think the same of Benedict Arnold.
@@TheStapleGunKid hi..My opinion of Arnold is not connected to my feelings about Davis in any way. Davis honorably put forward his desire/pathway to form a new country. Arnold switched sides in the middle of fighting. They're unrelated episodes, yours is just a stupid "gotcha" question that does nothing to advance conversation, and/or understanding other peoples' opinions on the Civil War. peace
@@GeorgeWashingtonX Davis was a sitting US senator who joined an active rebellion against the United States attempting to take over part of the country and turn it into a slave empire. It would seem what Davis did was identical to what Arnold did in substance, though one could argue worse in terms of impact. Davis gave the order to take Fort Sumter. All the death and destruction that followed came from a choice he intentionally made. At least Arnold was personally responsible for starting the war.
First and last american statesman
American?
lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
American statesmen don't head traitorous secessions from their country.
Lol except for literally every American statesman of the founding generation. If King George had vanquished George Washington, he and all his top men would have been imprisoned or executed as traitors & you'd be making the same statement about Washington while swilling down tea & crumpets.
The U.S originally was a federation or a voluntary federal union created by the States, if the States can join it freely they may also freely and legally withdraw.
(Secession is not treason) under the federal constitution, it's one of the Rights respectively left to the Sovereign States under both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, States Rights and nullification were the foundation of the u.s Constitution so that if the union government should become centralized and corrupt one of the options the States would have is the ability to withdraw if need be, after all the original 13 States seceeded from the corrupt British union.
But what is illegal and classified as treason under the U.S constitution is the servile Executive Branch marching federal troops "through" and "against" its constituent States without probable cause or consent of the States or Congress to impose it's will upon them or prevent them from practicing a guaranteed Right and enforcing an act that is Constitutionally protected.
Trying to coerce States back into a broken union with bayonets only solidifies disunion.
(Secession is not rebellion) either so don't try to pull that crap, under the Constitutional framework it's the whole principle upon which the union and the constitution were constructed, reason being the 13 States Seceeded from the British union. And the British were calling American Statesman like General George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Joseph Warren ect.. traitors because they headed a Secession movement and declared their Independence from what the British crown falsely called an
"indisolvable union" just like new england did in 1861.
New England is no different than
Old England.
American Statesman headed Secession from the British union
and those same Statesman would be the Founding Fathers, sooo..???
Isn't that what the Founding fathers did to their original "Country".. they Seceeded?
The relationship between Britain and the thirteen colonies wasn't the same country as the States were their own bordered country, rather, it was a union.
Your talking about the Founding Fathers because that's what they did, don't you know that...?
Your literally calling the Founding Fathers traitors because they Seceeded from Britain..
The U.S is not nor ever was a "country" it is a voluntary federation of Sovereign Nation States..🙄
"The Right solemnly proclaimed at the birth of the States, and which has been affirmed and reaffirmed in the Bills of Rights of the States subsequently admitted into the Union of 1789, undeniably recognizes [in the people] the power to resume authority delegated for the purposes of government".

The people of a state reassuming powers they delegated to their created agent is not treason.
Jefferson was the most hated man in the Confederacy that wasn't a Yankee or named Braxton Bragg lmao. You guys just love simping for failure, huh?
That's not Jefferson Davis. Sorry it's the time for truth.
Jefferson Davis, traitor.
@gary olsen, Than your calling the Founding Fathers traitors because they and their States Seceeded from Britain and what the British crown falsely called in their time an "Indisolvable British Union".
Jefferson Davis is no more of a "traitor" as you say for nullifying the U.S union government than the Founding Fathers were for nullifying the British union government, which none of them were traitors, and the causes of nullification for both generations was the exact same,
No Taxation without representation, a crony centralizing government seeking to operate off of a system of corrupt Central Bank Corporate Mercantilism,
a government and radical political party system that wished to dispose the Constitution of 1789 to impose its will on it's constituent States through force and coercion.

@@TexasIndependenceNow No the causes were not the same. The Confederate states launched their rebellion entirely for the preservation of slavery.
