On Confederate Surrender Day, I give you the Liberator's take on Jefferson Davis: "We believe Jefferson Davis to be the worst man in all history. He was a repudiator and slaveholder. He has been a secessionist, a traitor and rebel....He has sedulously endeavored to subvert our free institutions."

He preferred to “rule in hell than to serve in heaven”. Hmm, for some reason that reminds me of someone… maybe a current leader… Gee, can’t quite put my finger on it.

I don't want to make it racial but I get the feeling that a lot of white conservatives of today and not just white conservatives in the South but white conservatives all over the country admire Jefferson Davis but they just won't admit that in public.

"We should hang him for being a traitor, but we won't. We'll let him move to Canada for a while, then just NOT PROSECUTE HIM for waging the bloodiest war in our fucking history. THAT is how you punish traitors to the United States!"

I suspect that a lot of white conservatives think of him as a great American.

True but I think a lot of people today don't think of them as insurrectionists and that's a big problem.

You say it like these are BAD qualities. With Jeff, these are his positives.
