        @BeschlossDC I think it's time you "historians:" expose Davis war ultimatums to spread slavery and his cowardice per his wife's letter.

        @PricklyPear57 @BeschlossDC Wow, just glanced at the Wiki entries for Jefferson and Varina. Amazing lives before and after the war. Thanks!

        @BeschlossDC Your wording was inadvertently (?) funny. Sounds like he was a kept man ... but Varina was there as well.

        @PricklyPear57 No, Davis was sniffing around every rich woman he could get his hands on, was screwing at least one. http://jeffdavisdresss.blogspot.com/
