    Jefferson F. Davis was an American politician who served as the first and only president of the Confederate States from 1861 to 1865.

    Fun fact, the Confederate states split from the Union because of growing fears that they would lose their ability to own slaves. Since this is often contested, please refer to the Confederate Constitutions which all tell you this fact in the first few paragraphs each.

    Then, they attacked Union locations and operations, forcing the Union to come in amd take away their ability to own slaves.

    Bunch of dumbasses.

      They’re preserving it in its indignity. People getting their grubby mitts on it might unintentionally restore it to bare metal.
