Never be haughty to the humble or humble to the haughty.
- Jefferson Davis
Biography good quote.
poker
it should be BE NAUGHTY TOO THE HUMBLE OR HUMBLE TO THE NAUGHTY lmao
No the South would of ended your people from slavery and to let you know your people fought for the South and they were given there freedom for doing so sir I'm against the federal government not your people 90 percent of southern people did not own slaves
@@pongish2326 haughty is an actual word.... lol
Wow. He made it to 1899? He "only" died 120 years ago.
*1889
120 years ago was a long time ago
@@MelB868 Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889. He lived till 1977. It really wasn’t that long ago
Can you imagine the jokes we have for congress resigning to go fight for the wars they start?
Just imagine how strange it would be if the split continued and succeeded. That sounds like an amazing movie idea.
Just look at the story of Germany after WW2
I think a movie is already out like that
@@jameswebster150 lol true
If it wasn't for Georgia!! Praise the Lord..It may have happened
@Lana Marla Peebles it would have gone away anyway, and been a smoother transition
The correct title should be Jefferson Davis first, last, and only president of the confederacy
ybmia 0 haha I get it
ybmia 0 maybe we shall
And the end of the true constitution!
He died in December 1889, not 1899
this vidioe was very helpful
In an alternate history, this could have been Washington
nah...hitler would be. no way a confederation of states would have been powerful enough to invade normandy or build a nuclear bomb
Alan
What?
@@AlanJWatkins that’s exactly what the united states is...
Exactly. If Washington lost he would have been considered a traitor to his country and released from prison as not to create a Marter…
I love history
He actually died in 1889
why was I not taught this in history class?
Because the victor writes history
Probably because he was the “bad guy” in American history when actually he wasn’t that bad at being the first president of Confederacy
@@jeffersondavis9415 i guess your not a "results oriented" type
@@jeffersondavis9415 he was the bad guy because he was the president of the confederacy
And I think this documentary was way to lenient Jefferson Davis became president because he wanted to keep black people enslaved
As an educator and I love history and we are still learning. BUT I've decided we all need a MAJOR REVIEW. Jan 6 WAS SO SAD.. ALL THOSE THAT Died for us..embarrassing
I like people who weren't captured
Donald J trump 😂😂
Lol
He had black babies , literally.
Many slave holders had
0:18)Are the Zouaves, stage left, north or south militia?
2:57)In an earlier speech, Abe Lincoln II mentioned the right of succession.
"First" President? Was there a second?
No
Very interesting
hello there
GENERAL KENOBI
Same music as the "being frank" episode of always sunny at the beginning
Interesting fellow!
Danny writing note Jefferson Davis.
Why he resembles Abraham Lincoln?
Both Davis and Lincoln were born in Kentucky
Both were of Anglo-Saxon extraction maybe? 🤔
Abraham Lincoln's Great grandmother came from Ysbyty Ifan (house still there) and Jefferson Davis grandparents lived less than fifteen minutes away both in Eryri.
lets not forget thet he was born in kentucky and recived a significant portion of his education in that state porud to have been born not far from his birthplace
That's cause the south had the right to succeed read the articles of confederation states are sovereign and our constitution does not state anything different to this day
Oh hey, Miles Morales' father!
He was a slave owner and owned 113 slaves in his plantation. Stop erasing slavery like it never happened
Then stop tearing down statues and trying to erase history
I don't agree with tearing down but there being torn down for the same reason they where put up out of spite but i also think two wrongs don't make a right.
Who cares
Woah
ya
My blood ancestral patron.
Symbol of a lost cause. I think that sums up Davis well..
@js32dv not noble, just not losers
I'm Arthur Bhutic! I'm at 8902 Crazy Horse Trail, Houston, Texas 77064-7151! I've been writing ✍ his name around in Houston! It's on light poles, on the street, including Crazy Horse Trail, on fences, and on signs!
Abraham Lincoln's brother
What a hero
That photo looks fake are we sure it's real? The one with his wife
for the next 10 years he was a salve owner
@js32dv what are you talking about?
A little dab'l do ya!
He wrote a book?
he did write a few books
Not sure you can say he farmed cotton
God Bless President Davis!!!!!!!
@@Endgame707 so is biden
@@Endgame707 first off...who cares and #2 just beacuse i believe in the south does not make me racist........
@@Endgame707 whatever
I am US President The Great Great Great Grandson of US President Jefferson Davis Chas Davis Charles Ferguson
They call Varina a teenager who was 1/2 his age, I was thinking she was like 14, but she was 19
I see a lot of Joe Biden in this guy.
An insult to President Davis
A great president
i prefer people who were not captured.
2:33 "the South's cause" ..... there was no cause; it was all about money.
The south's cause is to secede from the union.
Ex-------actly
En castellano hablado 😡😈🇨🇱
0:59 "Davis" farmed cotton. 🤦
There should be more men like him
No
Why? Wasn’t he a bad guy who liked slavery?
@@lukemckinney9550 everyone at that time liked slavery lol
@@user-sx4fc6mc6z that’s not a justification. And it certainly wasn’t “everyone”
@@user-sx4fc6mc6zwhat do you mean “everyone”
My president. Happy Presidents Day.
Can't wait to see the second.
This is not even a joke. I'm being serious.
God bless Jefferson Davis God bless the fighting men for the South God bless the service to our country and our former country
atleast bin laden didnt try to rewrite our constitution. 1776!
Alan I wish you could make sense.
@@kylecox005 lol
@GEORGE FLOYD GHOST you are aware that by posting as his "ghost", you are bringing awareness to and further promoting the immortality of his legacy. george floyd may have been a felon, but atleast he wasnt a traitor ...
@@AlanJWatkins no he was something worse, a domestic abuser
“Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, and whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it and form new government, laying its foundation on the consent and protection of the governed” - Declaration of Independence. Actually read what our founding fathers wrote because it looks like that’s what the south did
Not Lost Cause, The CSA Government was Never Surrendered, just Army. It's just Half Time.
I see a lot of Joe Biden in Davis.
Exactly. Joe Biden will probably go down in history as USA version of Jefferson Davis.
I see none of it. Jeff wasn't demented and he was a good leader
Cool propaganda bro
So he was a loser and a Trader, Got it
For you he is but not for us southern s us government is the problem
He’s bad
He was a great President
NO
YES
They ran him and his biggot family right out of Richmond.
God bless the confederate cause and may the South rise again amen
@Micheal Carney they can be free 90 percentage of the Southern did not own a slave and all we want is our confederate state s back away from the union just like the US did they fought the British and should not have give us our cosa again
Why on earth would you say that apart from a cool thing to say ...no one in their right mind would want the south to rise again
god bless our founding fathers. republic beats confederacy.
@gamelvr1 liberal. You are i will see you on the battlefield then we will see big mouth on the phone
Wtf u racist
