One of your daily affirmations?

If daily shit statements are made. And you still offer nothing to prove Jeff Davis was offered a pardon and accepted it. So, where is it?

It's a mantra for Quantrill. It keeps the bad ideas away.

And jacksonlamb's mantra is saying shit and not proving it. And then disregarding the proof against him. See for example in the thread "If I had been President of the Confederacy" posts (23-47).

Jefferson Davis deserved a firing squad, not a prison sentence. Instead, Jefferson Davis was sentenced to, and eventually released from Prison-. He should've died a horrible death in prison. He was personally responsible for so much death, destruction, misery.

Today in History: Jefferson Davis Released from Prison

When the Civil War ended, the government faced the problem of what to do with the former Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, or “Jeffie D” as Lincoln referred to him.

After Davis had been captured in Georgia, some Northerners wanted to try him as an accomplice to Lincoln’s assassination. Others wanted him prosecuted for the deadly conditions at the Andersonville prisoner of war camp. But there was no evidence for either charge.

In 1866, the House voted to try him for treason, which was agreeable to Davis. He looked forward to a trial where he could justify his actions. Now prosecutors worried a not guilty verdict might be viewed as a validation for secession.

Finally, today in 1867, he was freed from prison when several prominent men in the North signed the $100,000 bond that would release him. The publisher Horace Greeley justified his signing the bond by saying “From the hour he lays down his arms, my enemy is my formerly erring countryman.”

Modern seditionists who tried to overthrow the government under Trump should also be taken to court.

Modern seditionists who tried to overthrow the government under Trump should also be taken to court.

And face firing squads (Trump instituting?).

Jefferson Davis (Confederate President) — Pardoned and accepted.

He was indicted for treason in 1866.

His case stalled until President Andrew Johnson issued a blanket Christmas pardon on December 25, 1868, covering all who participated in the rebellion.

This pardon ended the prosecution, and the indictment was formally dismissed in 1871.

This was not a negotiated, individual pardon — it was a universal amnesty, but Davis was fully covered by it and therefore accepted it by operation of law.
