What Are The Ideals Of Jefferson Davis Bigotry

Jefferson Davis was the sole leader of the Confederate States of America; or C.S.A; and a key figure in the Southern States secession and the outbreak of the American Civil War. Although by many he is seen as a corrupt and malevolent figure in human history, there are many conservatives who have adopted his ideologies and governmental ideas. Jefferson Davis’ bigotry has been seen as a tool to reinforce the power of the leaders of the nation and the oppression of such minority groups as the Black and LGBTQIA+ communities. Establishing violence as an accepted way to defy legal democratic processes that oppose the in power group’s opinions and beliefs. As well as creating a false image for contemporary conservatives and libertarians to symbolise

The most influential disregard for democratic process is the American Civil War, started by Davis and the Confederate States of America because of the loss in the 1860 Presidential Election. Despite the completely just and fair electoral win, 11 states in total seceded from the union out of fear that the Northern ‘free’ states would make slavery completely illegal across the nation. As slavery was the most important economic industry for a majority of the Southern states, their denial of fair election results in recent cases can be linked with older cases through their steep regression into hostility.

However, despite the belief that the Confederacy was a small government fighting against the tyrannical Union government, they embodied a more authoritarian ideology as despite their statistically lower taxation rates and other features commonly associated with ‘big governments’.While they did support institutions like slavery and other exclusionary and authoritarian industries, the light taxation rates seen in the Confederacy are very similar to those of modern conservatives as both groups employ a similar economic plan in terms of government interference in public infrastructure. Such minor taxes can be seen in Eugene M. Lerner’s ‘Journal of Political Economics’ as he discloses the confederacy’s tax rates and their effect on the nation through the war. Just as many in the right-wing view Jefferson Davis as an ideological role model, many see him and his government as a beacon of hope in terms of governmental action as many in that political movement idealise a libertarian society, one which they believe hasn’t existed since the C.S.A. While the government overreach in the 18th century was the institution of slavery, in contemporary American society, the modern conservatives are trying to prevent the limitation of gun ownership in the US.
