The Truth About Jefferson Davis
The monument of President Jefferson Davis in New Orleans has been
removed. Masked construction crews worked to dismantle the monument in
the dead of night, guarded by masked gunmen. Just as the Jacobins and
the Bolsheviks celebrated their victorious revolutions against France
and Russia by desecrating the Cathedral of Notre Dame and dynamiting the
Cathedral of Christ the Savior, so the Left is celebrating its
victorious revolution against America by destroying historical monuments
– starting small with the vulnerable Confederates as an entering wedge,
but marching onward from there and never calling retreat. Indeed, the
Left fully intends to do figuratively to American history what the
Jacobins and Bolsheviks did literally to the Bourbons and the Romanovs.
Jefferson Davis, a hero from the Mexican War, Mississippi planter,
and American statesman before he was elected President of the
Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans on December 6th,
1889. His funeral procession was the largest ever in New Orleans and one
of the largest ever in the South. Among the tens of thousands who lined
the streets and paid their respects were many of his former slaves, who
remembered their former master and life on his plantation fondly. On
February 22nd, 1911, New Orleans dedicated a monument to Jefferson
Davis, corresponding with the 50th anniversary of his presidential
inauguration. “The South seeking a leader for her highest office, chose
him from among her fittest men, a profound student of the Constitution; a
majestic creator; in character firm; in judgment sound; in purpose
resolute,” read the pedestal of the monument. “His deeds are enshrined
in the hearts of the people for whom he suffered, and his deeds are
forever wedded to immortality.” On May 11th, 2017, New Orleans removed
the heavily vandalized monument, and it is rumored that it will be
relocated to a nearby slavery museum to stand forevermore as an object
of scorn and ridicule.
