Jefferson Davis: First and Final Confederate President

Join this channel to support Civil War storytelling and to get perks:    / @threadsfromthenationaltapestry   There are some sixteen accounts about the life of the President of the Confederacy. Unlike his counterpart, Abraham Lincoln, this President, from the perspective of most historians, has not fared well. Brittle, ill-tempered, one who held grudges, possessed poor political skills. In short, a second-rate leader who loved bureaucracy and was unable to grow with responsibility. When asked why the Confederacy lost the war, Southern-born David Potter, a professor of history at both Yale and Stanford Universities, commented that this Chief Executive should shoulder much of the blame. Writing some two decades ago, another historian and biographer, William Cooper, Jr., wrote that we should look at a man from his time and not condemn him for not being a man of our time. Though that seems to fly in the face of current sensitivities and agendas, that is what we, now, shall attempt to do. This is the story of a man, like Robert E. Lee, who is a marquee figurehead for a short-lived nation whose Constitution supported states’ rights and slavery. A man subjected to the bolts of lightning flung his way for being its elected leader. This is the story of the first and only President of the Confederate States of America, Jefferson F. Davis. #civilwarhistory #jeffersondavis Narrated by Fred Kiger Produced by Dan Irving Published by Third Wheel Media We're looking for sponsors for this channel.
