Abraham Lincoln was shot dead, in cold blooded premeditated murder, yet Jefferson Davis denied giving the order for the assassination. Davis also refused to request an official pardon from the United States for his role in the Civil War barring himself from a post Civil War senate nomination. Jefferson Davis died in New Orleans, Louisiana on December 6, 1889. The year before his death the former President of the Confederate States of America beseeched the young men of Mississippi to “lay aside all rancor, all bitter sectional feeling, and to make your places in the ranks of those who will bring about a consummation devoutly to be wished—a reunited country.”
As sentimental and encouraging as Davis's last words to the Southerners might have sounded to a Yankee, there is another side to the coin, especially for those who are involved with the K.G.C..... and even more especially, for politicians who where Copperheads before they left the Union and joined the Rebellion of 1861 as the first president of the Confederacy. Perhaps Jefferson Davis was saying right in front of GOD and everybody what he truly meant to say to those that understood him perfectly, while the uninitiated mistook his kind and encouraging words to mean just that. Perhaps it was a final..."KEEP IT UP BOYS WE ARE STILL GONNA WIN THIS BATTLE! HOLD YOUR HEADS HIGH AMONG THEM AND KEEP SWIMMING DOWN STREAM! In other words, "Don't struggle or they will know we are still fighting! and WINNING!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$"
