- 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.
Now this is what needs to be taught in the schools.
Won’t happen until the Marxist democrats are completely purged out of office.
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.
Excellent documentary series, thank you for uploading.
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
President Jefferson Davis
Confederate States of America
A heroic figure !! A life of dedication that brought much suffering!
No tragedies will wash away the sins of slave holders.
NONE.
Impossible not to be moved . 🇬🇧 👍 !
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
Davis should've just went to war as a commander instead of being president lee would have made a phenomenal statesmen
Wrong. Dead wrong. Lee shouldn’t have been so over zealous or surrendered without proper due process.
Thank you
I have no tears tobshed for this arch white supremacist.
The fact they didn’t put him on trial because they knew he would win says all you need to know. Deo Vindice!!!
He could make the case. Especially if you read his memoirs. If you want the country to heal and move on, best not to put him on the stand.
Calling Davis a “hero” is a stretch for some! Good men doing bad things do not make a hero!
He did write an autobiography
Yes, completely devoid of propaganda. Thank you!
Sensitive American child
What a tradgic life and period of our Nation.
Refreshing to watch a documentary that is devoid of propaganda.
The whole cast and cost cause narrative is propaganda, pure and simple.

Only to the minds that are easily propagated..
@@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.
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.
Intro song?
Hes so handsome. Brilliant and noble ❤️🥺✨
Liberty for all or none 🙏🏿
He was traitor
Oh my gosh - he was never wealthy after the war.
Omg - poor poor JD.
So you are poor
This has shown me who Jefferson Davis was not just the leader of the Confederacy.
Oh he lost his plantation.
Oh cry me a River!
You know you Americans are all the same…whiny little girls who are easily offended
It’s impossible to cry a river
God bless Jefferson Davis and god bless the south ! - deo vindice !
Blood on his hands.
Loyal American????
Good grief.
Throw up now.
All the crying you are doing I can see you throwing up
I just can't comprehend why people still speak positively about confederacy and people like Jefferson Davis
Shame on southern states and their people for patronizing hatred.
You don’t see statues of Hitler in Germany.
It is despicable to celebrate the confederate slavers period.
Stop crying this was 200 years ago grow up
Oooooohhh, poor, poor Jefferson Davis went to England after the war, and then didn’t have the money to “live well and mingle with the English epicures”…..so sad when aristocratic wanna-be’s never realize their dreams of world domination. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy…😱🤣😂
He was A traitor and should've been put on trial.
Boohoo it happened a long time ago stop crying man you Americans whine about everything
His only fault. He wasnt Lincoln. Who would have measured up in his shoes? No one I think
Robert Toombs.
The pope sent him a crown of thorns?
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
So that means Jesus won’t accept you
