  • Davis is imprisoned at Fortress Monroe, Virginia for over two years--during which there is a public outcry over his treatment and the validity of jailing someone not yet accused of any crime. After his release, Davis begins what will be a cross-country and international search for meaningful employment so that he may provide a life for his family. When an old friend offers her home, Beauvoir, in Biloxi, Mississippi, to live and write in peace, Davis accepts. He later dies in December 1889 in New Orleans after a final trip to his beloved Mississippi plantation, Brierfield.

    Jefferson Davis is a fascinating historical figure. I enjoyed learning about his life in the three episodes of this wonderful documentary. Thanks!

    Having read so much about Davis it's great to see all of those photos, especially the one where he's smiling in the last years of his long and eventful tragic life.

      Yes they do so that they can know the traitor that he was. Like Donald Trump, Davis tried to overthrow the United States 🇺🇸

      No. The Confederacy should NEVER be glorified like this video. JD was pure EVIL as was ALL slavers PERIOD.
      This is why we still suffer white supremacy. We are a nation of RACISTS and it IS despicable and always will be.

    I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war but the North was mad and blind and would not let us govern ourselves and so the war came Never be haughty to the humble or humble to the haughty All we ask is to be let alone

    Dammnnn I was sitting here watching this at rosemont plantation. Knowing my uncle had produced a movie about Jeff Davis but not thinking it was this one. We have the DVDs for sale. He hired me to try to bring life back into the plantation.. come see us in woodville Ms , a few miles north of the “shoe” of Louisiana

      ​@@jameslawracy2666 I got the same impression, but William C. Davis and William J Cooper (two of the most prominent scholars featured in this doc) have both written biographies of Davis, and both have written against the lost cause narrative. They outright deny it. So anyone who actually consults their work will at the least be able to see the truth of the matter. I'm surprised they agreed to be featured in this doc.

    • @avg8or
      @avg8or Před 3 lety +6

      I didn’t feel there was any lost cause agenda in this series. Just a devotion to exploring Jefferson Davis’ point of view.(not the same as advocating his point of view). A future President would be wise to take good and bad lessons from both Davis’ and Lincoln’s idealism. Regardless of the ‘cause,’ the perpetual union of these United States was no longer after 1861, and rather than “Reconstructed,” the United States underwent “Reformation,” that is still being interpreted today by judges interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment. The idealistic endeavors of both Presidents failed to be achieved, but I’d rather live in this country and time, than the one either man sought to create.

      @@avg8or The problem with the label “lost cause” is that it has become a pathetic excuse of those who know little of what they are talking about to discount and disregard information they don’t like. I have been called a lost causer just for literally quoting Lincoln or quoting the Emancipation Proclamation because the proclamation itself says that it is a war measure and that’s it but because I quote that part of it then I get called a lost causer. I have seen Southern sympathizers act in similar fashion when they hear facts they don’t like. But overwhelmingly, the people that try to shut down the conversation by labeling their Curitiba like that are the ones who do not sympathize with the South.

    Why I don’t believe in the “divine” authority of most ALL popes.
    Catholic popes like fascists and that is a problem.
    Jesus rejects fascist ideology
