Pink,
Yes, that would be interesting. I've sent you an e-mail suggesting that you write on this aspect of history as a guest writer on my American History topic.

We must do something to build more interest in this American History site.

I will do some research into the controversy. But, Brian Tubbs is the one who has a handle on it. Albeit, he may be a mite biased.
.
I'm wondering what is behind this controversy.

» Brian Tubbs - Jefferson Davis

By the way, Mary, I'm glad you're tackling Jefferson Davis. He's an important figure in history.

Interesting that he was picked as the CSA president because he was considered a moderate (i.e, reluctant) secessionist. And, yet, he would by war's end, be a very bitter secessionist - determined to keep the war going at all costs.

I think if Davis would've taken the lead in surrendering (as Generals Lee and Johnson did), his reputation would be quite different today.

Brian,
Yes, I agree, if Davis had taken a different position in the situation his reputation would probably be different now.

Pink,
You say that "Brian Tubbs is the one who has a handle on it." Why is that? Hey, Brian, how about it. Let us know what you know.

I think that was a kind way of his saying that I have strong opinions on the subject. I make no claim to any exclusive or superior knowledge, however.
