Remembering Jefferson Davis: A True American Hero
Author
By Calvin E. Johnson Jr.
“Never teach your children to admit that their fathers’ were wrong in their efforts to maintain the sovereignty, freedom and independence which was their birthright”—-Jefferson Davis.
June 3, 2014, is the 206th birthday of Jefferson Davis who was born in Christian County, Kentucky, on June 3, 1808.
Memorials to Jefferson Davis include Georgia’s Stone Mountain memorial carving of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, the Davis Monument on Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, the Jefferson Davis Monument State Historic Site a Kentucky State Park commemorating the birthplace of Jefferson Davis President of the Confederate States of America, and….
In 1931, a bronze statue of Jefferson Davis, sculptured by Virginia’s Augustus Lukeman, was given to the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. by the State of Virginia.
Davis served the United States as a soldier, statesmen and Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce. He was also the first and only President of the Confederate States of America.
Davis’ father, Samuel Emory Davis, served in the Revolutionary War and participated in the siege of Savannah. Three of Jeff’s older brothers served in the War of 1812, two under General Andrew Jackson. His father was from Georgia and mother Jane Cook Davis, daughter of a noted Baptist Preacher, was from North Carolina.
Jefferson Davis was a strong Unionist but also a strong defender of the United States Constitution.
Davis was indicted for treason but was never tried because some felt this might have been an indictment against the United States itself. He was however unjustly imprisoned for two years in Fort Monroe, Virginia before his release in 1867.
Here are a few of his accomplishments:
He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Fought valiantly in the War with Mexico.
Served as United States Senator from Mississippi.
Served as U.S. Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce.
Was first to suggest the transcontinental railroad to link Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
First to suggest Panama Canal Zone
Suggested the purchase of Cuba
Appointed Robert E. Lee as Superintendent of United States Military Academy at West Point.
Visiting Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson Davis and Presidential Library, is a good way to better understand this man Davis. Read more about Beauvoir here.http://www.beauvoir.org/
Jefferson Davis’ last marriage was said to be a good one to Varina, who gave him two sons and two daughters (Jefferson, Margaret, Winnie and Billy). Winnie was nicknamed (Daughter of the Confederacy) as she was born during the time of the War Between the States. Billy was killed by an accidental fall at the Confederate White House in Richmond and in 1864, an abused black child named Jim Limber was adopted by the Davis family.
Jefferson Davis died between 12:30 AM and 1:00 AM on December 6, 1889. The news of his death hit the front page of most Southern and even Northern newspapers like this:
On December 13, 1889, the New York Times reported the Davis Funeral being the grandest ever seen in the South. The Sermon at Metairie Cemetery was delivered by Bishop Thompson of Mississippi. Bishop Gallaber delivered a brief sketch of Jefferson Davis’ life…And a Church Choir sang an old time favorite “Rock of Ages” to end the service.
Lest We Forget!

Anyone is welcome to use their voice here at FREEDOM OR ANARCHY,Campaign of Conscience.THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN AMERICA FOR THOSE WITH OUT MONEY if you seek real change and the truth the first best way is to use the power of the human voice and unite the world in a common cause our own survival I believe that to meet the challenges of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for oneself, ones own family or ones nation, but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace,“Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.” Love and Peace to you all stand free and your ground feed another if you can let us the free call it LAWFUL REBELLION standing for what is right

Cowards -- you run from facts like Davis ran from Richmond, and wore his wife's dress.
ReplyDeleteAt least Davis had men chasing him, but here is a clue -- learn about his wife's letter, a 20 page letter you cowards have run from for 100 years.
Davis wore not only a dress, but two other female garments, and worse, he ran away from his children for his own safety, when the bullets flew. His own wife's letter, and his own nephew's journal show it.
While his wife and nephew were not trying to expose his cowardice, they did validate the Union soldiers reports about Davis running away in female garments.
Davis, being a true coward, would claim he was heroic -- he stood by his children,defending them, and would have killed the first Union soldiers with his knife, but for his "tender concern" of his dear dear children. For their sake, Davis claimed, he would do the unthinkable, and let himself be captured.
Hardly -- he was 300 feet from his children and running as fast as he could, in his wife's dress. His wife -- according to HER letter -- told the soldiers "Its my mother' and jumped in from of Davis so they wouldnt shoot him. Thats what HER letter says, and it's still in library of Congress, donated by Blair family.
But more, Davis insisted blacks were not human beings -- not PERSONS at all -- but property, so inferior they were PROPERTY, and as property, no one could stop slave owners from taking their property into Kansas (or anywhere else).
Far from states rights, Davis hated states rights when Kansas rejected slavery, and promised war if slavery was not spread. See the Five ULtimatums issued by Davis and the Confederate leaders in Montgomery May of 1861 -- all five ultimatums (war demands) were about the SPREAD of slavery.
Why are you such cowards? Why do you run from what your own heroes did? Have some balls. Demand the spread of slavery now AGAINST states rights -- Davis did. Issue War ultimatums to spread slavery -- Davis did. Run away in a dress like your hero -- Davis did
well said you should make your site open to the people you seem to want to speak out but hit and run show me some facts to your statement and then may be a discussion will start
